Myself I am a very big believer in punishing those who violate the law (discharge of a weapon in a dangerous manner) rather than punishing us all for the unlawful or stupid actions of a few.
Parking lot is OK.
You step up to the door, unload, buy your ticket and enter.
Leave the show.
Load.

Was not advocating 'a law'. I've been to a few gun shows and have never been worried about bad guys storming the place. In my experience, there is plenty of 'security'...guys just arriving w/ guns to trade, guys leaving with a new purchase, guys outside catching a smoke and looking over their new purchase. And a few gals, too, for that matter. And I've noted that along with guns for sale/ trade, there is ammo also. Never struck me as the sort of place where bad guys would be lurking, that's all.
