Dude you need to think for yourself and quit believing everything that the liberal press has slanted to make you believe you hit on a goldmine to critizize the NRA.
NRA conventions attacts many thousands of vistors for the two day event. As a result they are confined to larger cities that have a convention center that will hold those many thousands of visitors for the weekend event. That leaves out holding the convention in podock redneck little town USA.
Also since it is a several day event, there must be sufficent hotels nearby to house all those visitors for the weekend gather.
Now that they are confined to the larger cities because of size and accomadations needed. They have to rent convention centers in those major cities that are controlled or even owned by the city or a large private Corp.
Now those owners, including city boards and large corp. have lawyers in their payroll who give them advice on running the convention centers. Some of that legal advice has to do with "vicarious libility" that can cost them millions if they run afoul of being liable for vicarious libility for allowing people in the convention center with loaded firearms hidden on their person or open carry.
In the event of a shooting, or even a accidental shooting because a idiot pulled out his gun to show it off and it fired accidently and hit someone, the owner of the convention center, either private or city owned, has to assume vicarious libility because they did not enact a rule forbidding loaded firearms in the convention center.
This would hold true even more if the convention center rented the center to a pro gun group where it would be considered reasonable to the average person that attendees would be prone to carry concealed weapons with a permit. By enacting a rule of no loaded firearms in the center, the owner resolves themselfs of vicarious libility and it will be more difficult to sue them as a deep pockets defendant for the most cash reward by a plantiff.
Now some convention centers have enacted no firearms rules due to anti gun feelings, but the vast majority of them enacted the rule due to advice from their own attorneys to resolve them of any vicarious libility in the event someone gets shot in the center either in a diliberate act or accidental discharge.
I am glad that the NRA is willing to play by the rules, even if they do not like them, instead of violating the law like Sen. Feinstein did in Wash. D.C along with the Washington D.C. police chief who was a co-conspiritor in a felony crime.
Do you think if you got caught in Wash. D.C. with a banned high cap magazine that you will be given a free pass as Feinstein was given by the Wash. D.C. police dept that aided and abetted her crime that calls for a prison sentence.
Find another subject to rant about, or go back to enjoying your Crown. This one is not worth your time or B.S. End of subject for me.
