A much bigger problem with that reasoning is most shows do allow people to bring their own guns to sell or trade.bayouhazard wrote:That makes a lot of sense. Except that most firearms have serial numbers but Skittles and iced tea don't. So the dealers bound book would prove what is his inventory, versus what's another dealers inventory or personal property of an attendee.Superman wrote: The reason is because it would make it VERY difficult for me as the business owner to identify whether someone was stealing or not. How do I know you didn't just bring in that bag of skittles and not just take it off my shelf and open it up? It's not that I would be anti-candy, but I would have a much harder time running and protecting my business. Same reasoning for the 30.06 at gun shows.
The simple truth is the 30.06 sign only applies to people with a CHL carrying a handgun. It has no bearing on the majority who haven't passed the class and background check. It's likewise meaningless to people carrying long guns.
Therefore, posting a 30.06 sign does nothing but show how the management feels about training and background checks.
