Gun show with me tomorrow?

[pullnshoot25]

Don't forget the show policy crap on cameras... $10k/still and $100k/min of video, or something like that.

I've seen folks have their cameras confiscated, but not often. I can guarantee though that videotaping LEOs abusing your rights would "conveniently" get noticed by show authority...

Really? 10k/STILL? Its a FRIGGIN GUN SHOW, a neutered one at that, what is there that is so damned valuable?

I forgot my camera that day but still, that totally sucks and doesn't make sense...

A few theories...

1. They're afraid of media smears run by reporters and such, and this is the best way to keep them from doing just that.

2. If someone decides to "aw-ize" a gun at the show just to show off, that doesn't bode too well for the vendor whose gun it was.

3. Some vendors might be embarrassed if the "super authentic vietnam sniper SKS" or "Korean honor guard chromed SKS", for instance, were photographed and posted.

4. Undercover cops probably would not like to have their faces posted everywhere, especially if they just swooped in on someone.

5. Gun folks often get nervous around cameras. Why let people do something that freaks out 95% of your customers?

Personally, the one picture I keep meaning to take at the show, is a picture of the front booth with the "no pictures" sign so that I can print out a copy, with a circle around the important bits, to show the tourists who don't believe me that the show security guys will confiscate their camera if they see it.

Speaking of illegal stuff, someone in there was unknowingly selling 15rd magazines. They looked like BHP mags but I couldn't correctly tell.
