I can see that it is just a lot easier and safer for the gun shows to not allow LTC's to roam the floor with weapons loaded. Probably cost less for their liability insurance as well.

However, by not wanding everyone to ensure that the rules are applied equally to both licensed and unlicensed attendees it is unfair to the LTC's.

At minimum, Premier Gun Shows and every other organization holding guns shows should have to clearly articulate on their website the policy on carrying firearms inside the show. In Premier's case saying on their website that guns are welcome and then posting .06 and .07 signs at the door sounds mutually exclusive.

Perhaps a boycott of Premier Gun Shows by LTC holders until they decide good guys are welcome?

Really annoying that Premiere Gun Shows says on their website that your gun is welcome, but not tell you that you cannot open or concealed carry there.

I enjoyed walking the floor but not sure that I will go to a Premiere show again if they don't publicly clarify their position on carrying inside the show.

Why would you allow them to zip tie your gun, and also walk back to your car with ammo? Were you uncertain of your legal ability to carry at that location or did they force the issue through the use of metal detectors, etc?

Because you are not allowed to enter without your firearm checked by LEO who zip ties it in manner that it cannot be used.
Also you are not allowed to carry ammo into the show. There was both 30.06 and 30.07 signs at the entrance. Its seems ridiculous to me that they posted both signs yet allowed open and concealed carry of unloaded weapons.
Now that you question me about it I'm getting ticked off at the whole thing- why would a company making money off gun sales spit in the face of Texas LTC's?
