WLOSer Mario Boone reports on the changes for folks attending future gun shows at the WNC Ag Center:

Gun sellers will be required to park in a separate lot and enter through separate doors from gun buyers. Sellers will also be screened to make sure guns are unloaded and locked with a zip tie. The general public will be screened by handheld metal detectors so no one slips in a concealed firearm. But even before that everyone entering the ag center grounds must go through a checkpoint to determine if they have weapons in their car.

Asheville is going more communist then I thought we would ever go. It is amazing how dumb the liberals are. They think the problem is legal gun owners. If the liberals are so smart then explain to me why crime is much worse in place with strong gun control?

It’s about time. To witness these shows first hand is nothing short of a nightmare, because I’m a responsible gun owner.

Don’t forget that women gun owners can’t expose their nipples……
