They allowed beer sales in the food area at the Pomona (LA) Gun Show, no problems I’m aware of.

I wish them good luck - I hope this gets approved.

Has this been successfully done before? With the right group of responsible adults it could work, but not just with anybody. Some people change demeanor completely after a little alcohol (or mary jane), long before they become officially drunk.

Ever hear of a fist-fight at a gun-show? A murder?
Probably not impossible, but I’ve never heard of it and I’d bet they are rare in the extreme.
Who thinks even if there’s a little drinking that there will be shootings
?

Question.
What is the racial mix typically like at these shows in Texas?
Just wondering.

ATF should be the name of a nationwide chain of convenience stores, not an oppressive federal bureau.

why is it so critical to have alcohol at a gun show?Since gun shows have been held for years without alcohol, it may not be critical.

BAD IDEA. Probably proposed by Democrats so something bad WILL happen.
To: GeronL
There have been accidental shootings at gun shows Yes there has been quite a few.
And in nearly every case it has a dealer putting firearms up for sale without properly checking the chamber or using a personal carry weapon to demostrate a holster or something similar.
I don't have a problem with a customer having a beer or two while walking the floor. I am a bit more concerned about the dealers drinking on the job.
