I will tell you it happened at the OGCA show in Wilmington Ohio. Which is held in the Roberts Centre, a licensed venue, where you can arrange a five hour open bar if you want to. C&E Gunshows Inc. the organisers, make no mention of alcohol in their online list of conditions, viz.. All political material must be pre-approved by Show Manager.
No photography or video allowed without written permission of Promoter.
No media interviews allowed.
NO LOADED FIREARMS--NO EXCEPTIONS! There's obviously a lot more (or considerably less) to this report than we know at this point. Eug

OGCA is not affilated with C&E gunshows.
The OGCA application for a table for this show clearly states that alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
The application must be signed by the applicant.
So, in my opinion, the OGCA had they right to do as they did.
I was not there for the incident, so can not comment on what happened or what was said.
I know that early Saturday morning it was certainly a point of discussion.

I myself would never argue with the promoter of the show over this and certainly not when the it clearly states it is against the rules. I do find it just another example of the nanny state we live in. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me, but such is the world today. Kinda like the NTSB pushing for all states to adopt .005 as the BAC limit when all studies point to the fact that it is the folks over .010 that cause the problems. Throwing the baby out with the bath water does come to mind.
Soooo.....who was the dealer?

I would have felt like crap-getting called out on having a beer under the table at a gun show. But ,of course, I wouldn't have been.

Sir, I did not "belittle" you. I stated that you are apparently unaware that a friendly drink is standard procedure at many gun shows in this country, something you are apparently unaware of. I am not ashamed of the number of posts I have made, nor should I be. I, like Eugene, am trying to inform the posters on this thread about what is custom in the gun show world. By the way, Eugene, this is an OGCA show, not a C&E show. Ruffg, I had figured out that the show was the Wilmington show and posted such earlier. As I stated in an earlier post, OGCA runs a tight ship, and will throw a member out the door for many different infractions. I have been an OGCA member for decades. I would still like to know who the exhibitor is.

Ruffg, you have no idea what you are talking about ... If you would attend a show you would understand what is going on out in the real world. Thank you for posting and get back to us when you have participated in our hobby for more than a few minutes. Nine posts? Bill, "belittle" was my word, not ruffg's. I went back and looked again. The words speak for themselves. Jay

Was the "adult beverage" a bottle of Jack Daniels or that weak gnat's piss which passes for beer in the USA?

Gunflint, I'm sorry for the wording I used, but the poster is way off the mark and didn't seem to be picking up on what the truth is about a drink and gun shows. I will lighten up, but the poster should get a hold of the facts before he speaks.

Whatever happened to "Oh; sorry. Didn't know it would be a problem", even if you feel you have the right? Must everything become a pi$$ing match?
