I'm all for gun shows and all that jazz, but for crying out loud -- the reason gun shows are so much stricter about ammunition and disabling guns is that at a gun show, it's normal for lots and lots of people to handle lots and lots of guns. It only takes one mistake by a beginner or sloppy guest to end up with a negligent discharge. I hope venues and show organizers continue to prohibit alcohol regardless of whether it's legal or not -- if their common sense won't demand it, their insurers almost certainly will.
