Anyone want to protest the gun show with me tomorrow?

What gun show is this?  A gun show barring guns?  Are you kidding me?  I'd protest with you but I'm down here in Texas still trying to get OC...

Gun show here in Michigan does not allow guns unless they lock out your gun.

Name one gun show that allows you to carry your firearm?

[gryphon]

There one in Grand Rapids that does. I think Shadow Bear talked about it before.

I cant protest at all of them.

I question the legality of a certain gun show regulating carry of firearms and possession of ammunition at certain venues.  MCL 123.1102.

Can a local unit of government grant authority to a private entity that they themselves don't possess?

[birddseedd]

The way I understand it is that it falls under land ownership laws, and according to the law, from my uninformed understanding, is that the authority goes to the person renting, even if it is public owned, its under control of the renter as if it were private, as its a private renter. such as when you rent a house, you can kick people off of the property without calling the actual owner. If you are sued, you get sued, not the land owner.

is how it was put to me.

[birddseedd]

as far as MCL 123.1102 goes, this is not a government rule, ita a rule of the gun show company, you can go into the lobby, and all other rooms of the fairgrounds, just not the room the gun show is renting.

Search the MOC forums for "Uncle Sam Jam" and "Arts, Beats, and Eats."  Both are examples of a private entity on public property.

Never, ever, EVER support ANY organization or business that spits on your human rights.

You carry for a reason, right? Does that reason magically disappear when you cross the threshold? No, it does not. If you voluntarily disarm to save a few pennies, was it worth it?

Like the sign says: nothing inside is worth dying for....that includes malls, stores, restaurants and PARTICULARLY Fudd gun shows.

Support your local firearms shop that respects your human rights.

There is one in Taylor every few months (not the trade center) and the jj sport gun shows on the west side of the state are 2 that I can think of.

Should we support business where the corporate policy is no guns even if a local store is ok with firearms? Don't some of the profits still work the way back to corporate?

IMO, this is correct.  Preemption is a limit on the power of the state, not a limit on the actual property.  If a private entity leases or rents a space for their exclusive use, then I believe they could restrict firearms.  That being said this has been going on for a long time and it has never gone to court.
