Boycott Rochester gun show?

[71velle]

I seems popular around here not to support the anti-operations and I was looking ate the Rochester gun show rules and saw this

GENERAL RULES:

1. No loaded guns or clips, except for police and show security

Gun Shows | The Rochester Gun Show

and

All Firearms coming into the show must be checked by security at the CENTER doors of the entrance
The Rochester Gun Show | Presented by: Empire State Arms Collectors Association

 

[Darth]

Welp, cross that one off the list.

Of course if there were no detectors, and you cared enough to both, just carry anyway.

 

[Darth]

4) No subletting taables

Good work editor.

 

[Darth]

6) No alcoholic beverages or illegaal substances on the show grounds

Good work editor.

 

[Darth]

7) No banners or signes above table level, except for wall tables

This can't be a real site right?

 

[Darth]

I'm starting to cringe the further I go down.

5 )War photo’s, printed material, or art of offensive nature

And yeah, it's being a nitpicky ass, but if that is the kind of person running it, he can keep his "rules."

The following can be displayed in LIMITED QUANTITIES… No more than 1/4 of table...

Yeah, this is FUDD city.

 

[MaBoomStick]

I'm not sure about why to boycott, I imagine they're just trying to stay within state law, and it IS Rochester. I don't agree with it at all but I bet whoever is running the show, probably isnt too keen on placing these rules, or enforcing them.

If it is as bad as it sounds, after tomorrow I wont go again.

 

[Jmac00]

this has been going on for years. It's a standard rule at the Rochester gun show. No loaded firearms allowed.

The good news is, the county clerk sets up an office at the show to facilitate handgun purchases. at least they use too. I haven't been to the gun show at the dome in years, because it's a giant rip off. There isn't nothing there you can get somewhere else, cheaper. (like the double negative)

I believe that goes waaaay beyond FUDD city . Or should I have spelled it " sity"

Cop out excuse.

This is more ammo for the antis, and I see it all the time. They say "Gee, at gun shows, they don't even allow loaded guns in. I WONDER WHY!?!?!?!"

At the VERY least state "Firearms to be EXHIBITED will be CHECKED upon entry. Please ensure all such firearms are UNLOADED prior to arrival." That's fine. I'd then add "Legal CCW holders and Law Enforcement are permitted to carry, loaded, in the venue."

its also the same gun show that the NYSP use to patrol the parking lot looking for "straw purchases" so if you're going to do business on the dome grounds.....don't

 

[4excal]

Fuck that!! Not only would I not go do to all those idiotic rules bowing to the antis so they don't offend or get "in trouble", but I wouldn't go because the fools that have zero care for the people that support them and their venues. And it was quite sickening to see all those grammatical errors too lol, total rush rush chump writing and editing.

 

[MaBoomStick]

Pretty much just gonna walk around at this point

 

[Uzi]

The rules have always been like that since I can remember the place. Last time I went was like a month before the safe act. I'll be going there and maybe get myself something cool this year. I've continuously missed them each year and I probably wasn't missing out, but we'll see. I think that's the only real reason I went to dome shows, just to walk around to be honest.

 

[MaBoomStick]

@Uzi If you see a fat white, black thermal wearing skinhead, that's me, and i'm a dickhead in public

I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm white and will more than likely be wearing black too. That should minimize it down to a few hundred.

 

[MaBoomStick]

Better yet, i'll have a woman with me that will show absolutely no interest in the event, that narrows it down a LOT

 

[RandallOfLegend]

Most of the rules don't bother me. Tired of seeing all the Nazi BS. And the "no loaded" guns rule has been in effect for at least the last 5 years. Never went to a show before then, so I don't know if it goes further back.

If you're the top level man of your organization, in charge of putting pot press releases, and you do that website, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Grammar/spelling Nazi? Maybe, but it sets a tone of professionalism. But look deeper. "Clip?" No mention of "magazine", from a supposed gun group. Ok...

Then you see shit like "no more than a quarter table of..." is this a gun show or the fucking Food Network!?

 

[meketrefe]

I used to like gun shows when they were a nice experience and could find good deals.
Why no make a list of the things that are allowed? that would be way shorter.

Everything is prohibited unless otherwise indicated.

 

[EMSBronco]

The no loaded firearms rule is at a lot of gun shows and I can see the safety aspect of that rule. Quite possibly a requirement to state this and have a firearms check in order to qualify for insurance.

Ding ding ding!

I'll never forget the 1 and only gun show I ever went to, that made me never go to them again.

The RUDENESS of that guy...

I'm sure it's a requirement for schools too!

I don't buy it.

 

[Cleck]

I'm all for the grammar Nazi. If you're not gonna spellcheck or proofread your shit before you put it on a huge event like that, it looks fucking awful and it shows me that you just don't care that much about how you're perceived. In this case, I perceive you to be a bumbling fuckwad. Thanks for posting these up, I probably won't be making an effort to go. Have to bring my daughter anyways, and she's feeling under the weather, so I'm not gonna push it.

[MaBoomStick]

Goddamn I just thought of something. Ive never been to a show that is so restrictive, so can we even friggen bring drinks in??? A bag to hold stuff in, or is my white shiny ass gonna be strip searched???

Did Hitler rise from the dead to run a gun show? Good god.

Spelling or grammar errors in an internet post, or an email to a few people or something like that are a sign that the post isn't worth your time to clean up. In many cases that's accurate. Something that's going to be published to hundreds of people, it just shows contempt for the people, or the message, or both.

Something that's going to be printed and widely distributed ? It shows that you are an idiot.

 

[Saltwater60]

The Hamburg gun show says the same thing. I walk right in with my ccw. It's not illegal it's just a recommendation. If I were bringing a gun into sell sure I'd say hey check this out. They put a zip tie through the chamber and lock the slide open. Some moron told them he had one and was telling me about it. To cut it off there's a risk of damaging your fire arm. No way.
