It is an insurance issue.

As for Gander Mountain and Academy, they aren't gun shows with thousands of people handling firearms. Shooting ranges and gun shops may or may not have insurance and when they do, it's an entirely different setting than a gun show where thousands of people are in front of the muzzles of countless guns. The fact patterns and different, thus the risk is different.

I didn't say that and it doesn't. But if people start talking about it enough, insurance companies will learn it and stop covering gun shows.

This is an insurance requirement. No venue will rent a building to a gun show promoter unless they provide proof of insurance coverage. Insurers will not insure a gun show unless there's a rule against loaded firearms at the gun show.

This is has been argued many times before, but the simple fact is without insurance, there will be no gun shows. I don't like it either.
