<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 24747187, member: 5372&quot;]I would not be shocked at all, and your thought applies to any street in the U.S.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a matter of &quot;stay home.&quot; I have ZERO concerns with concealed carry. Limits, is the thought I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Venue controlled, designated security personnel protecting the public in a location is certainly proper and needs to be required at all public Shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Should every Dealer INSIDE the location of the Show have a concealed weapon? Sure, on the way to the Show or travelling home. Entering and exiting the location from the automobile? That falls on Show Security responsibility. Same for attendees. I reviewed the crime statistics, specifically coin show robberies involving a firearm, for the last 20 years. There were 131. NONE were INSIDE the location of the Show.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not an &quot;anti gun folk&quot;. A person is attending the Show. The person is entitled to protect themselves. The person has an up to date LE issued concealed carry permit and proper I.D. Is it reasonable that the person be required to submit to screening (think airport)? Yes. The person could be issued some type of visual I.D. that identifies to Security that the person was screened and cleared. Same with Dealers. No issues at all, from me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Public Security at the Show? Why the hell do I want Security to hide a weapon? The deterrent to the criminal is that there is Security, and the appointed Security Officer&#039;s weapon IS visible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frankly, same with Dealers, if we want to not tilt the wheel one way or another. What is the problem with a Dealer having a legal carry permit not letting the public know by sight, that the Dealer has a weapon?</p><p><br /></p><p>General public attendees? That is a Bridge to far, I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stop Look Listen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
