They allowed beer sales in the food area at the Pomona (LA) Gun Show, no problems I’m aware of.
Proposed by the same democrats that are talking impeachment.
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…?
If this gets approved, it’s gonna be the WILD WEST! ... or not.
Question.
What is the racial mix typically like at these shows in Texas?
Just wondering.
why is it so critical to have alcohol at a gun show? how is liability handled if god forbid an accident occurs.
OK!
How ‘bout some dynamite, too? Got plenty of ‘gators int the lake in back. (-:
So what? As long as you aren’t shooting, who cares?
ATF should be the name of a nationwide chain of convenience stores, not an oppressive federal bureau.
This is stupid. Alcohol makes guns go crazy.
“...gun shows that meet certain requirements, including not allowing live ammunition.”
Huh?
Never been to a gun show where ammunition wasn’t sold, also....
I am a hard core right wing, 2nd amendment man. I carry 24/7 if it is an area which is legal. I do not carry if I drink alcohol. If I drink alcohol I do not go anyplace where I think I might need a weapon. I stay home and with rare exceptions I do go out. I do not carry at those times.
The story is wrong. TABC’s proposed rule would, with an exception for government owned facilities, cost alcoholic beverage permit holders thier license if a gun show is held on the premises. Period. Doesn’t matter if you are not selling alcohol during the gun show, and in fact have it all under lock and key during they gun show. The rule is designed to force every privately owned venue in the state to chose between hosting gun shows, and holding alcoholic beverage permit. It could not do both (I’m classifying an event that requires weapons to be disabled AT ALL TIMES and NO AMMO as not being a gun show — it certainly is not by Texas standards). The proposed rule is a naked attempt to shut down gun shows..
Bring on the wymin and the rock-n-roll and it sounds like the fixins for a great party.
