    Default A gun-buster sign at the Lawton gun show...seriously...

    The Lawton Gun Show is scheduled for this weekend (8/11-12/2012) at the Comanche County Fairgrounds. I went to the fairgrounds to check out the show. There was a gun-buster sign at the entrance, so, I could not go in...fascinating.

    That's exactly why I won't go to most gun shows.

    Unless:

    A) They are doing security checks at the door, or
    B) The gunbuster sign carries the power of law in your state

    I would carry anyway....just my opinion

    This is one of those topics I’m up in the air on. First, their property their rules and I can respect that if I really think it’s that dangerous I won’t go.

    Second, I know I would be safe walking around with a gun holstered in there but I know that there are so many idiots out there that feel the same way that also won’t honor the sign and I can’t really call them on it if I didn’t follow the rules either.

    Generally I leave my gun in the car unless I am specifically trying on holsters

    At the shows here they ask at the door if you are carrying any firearms; if so it must be unloaded and they put a wire tie through the action.

    Not being prone to lying and seeing no need to carry a pistol that is unloaded, I usually leave it locked in the safe in the car if I am intent on attending.

    I'm the same with "dark" In Ohio you can carry but has to be unloaded and a strip tie inserted.

    I spent a week working in Lawton once. At Comanche Hospital.
    Nice little town.

    I haven't been to a gun show in years. Nothing there I really need that I can't get cheaper elsewhere.

    Generally at the gunshows here, there are armed guards. Off duty leo usually. At least the promoters seem to take responsibility for your safety even though they disarm you. I think that should be the law.
