It is done for the protection of all parties involved in the transaction. Criminals attempting to purchase firearms have been apprehended at our shows. If you are not allowed to own a firearm do not expect to acquire one at our show. Remember -- straw man transactions (buying a gun for someone else who may not have the right to own a gun) are unlawful, do not try to purchase a firearm for someone who is not allowed to own firearms.Absolutely no loaded firearms permitted in our show halls. If you have a carry permit or are an off duty police officer from a municipality outside the jurisdiction of the show, be aware that you are personally responsible for your actions and if you insist on carrying a loaded firearm you must show proof of insurance to cover your actions.
