I'm pretty sure you can't compel someone to carry unloaded. You either allow concealed carry or don't allow it - either the event is 30.06 or not. Maybe to avoid their stupidity, just bring your weapon unloaded to the check point, walk to bathroom and load one into the chamber and carry on ?

On a the second part - the new SB 273 as far as I read the law is enforceable for private entities as well - public property is to not be posted 30.06 unless it falls under one of the exclusions - gun shows are not excluded. If they wanna post 30.06 or enforce silly rules, they need to rent a private venue. Granted I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think this grey area, the law is pretty clear to me about this.
