They are requested not to take the guns out of the bag until asked to do so. It seems to me like the APD is asking people to carry concealed weapons (in a bag). It is a reasonable assumption that many of those who will carry their guns there in bags will not have a CHL. Isn't the APD encouraging people to commit a crime this way?
No, it is an event requiring a gun to be at. Like going to the range, a contest, shop for repair, gun show, etc. You are allowed to take your gun to those places without a chl, but it is confusing as you cant conceal or open carry it. I assume most do it cased or in a bag. Go to a gun show and you see lots of rifles but most pistols are cased.
