Never been to any of these guys shows, but their website seems pretty hypocritical. In the "Rules" section
"At no time is there to be a LOADED Gun, and/or Clip / Magazine or concealed weapon inside the event building. Except Paid Security, Law enforcement officers & STAFF. If caught with a loaded firearm, or a gun is discharged in the show, you will be removed from the show and may be charged criminally."
And also they say at the bottom, "DONT BE A VICTIM, BE AWARE, & ALWAYS CARRY A GUN!!"
Seems pretty silly for a gun show to not allow open or concealed carry. I don't know anything about them, but they seem pretty fudd to me but again, I could be wrong and have no other experience except reading their site.

My last 6-shooter show. Ugh!
Jammed with junk plastic guns. I talked to one guy about what he called his "Navy M-1 Carbine, unfired!" It was double tie-wrapped behind a counter with other rifles/shotguns connected to it. No tag "it must have blown off". Of course it did, when the weight of the $2,800 price tag sunk it through the floor. Oh, but "it comes with cloth bandoliers, and a bunch of ammo and 5 genuine GI mags." And that notch in the stock, that was made that way on purpose, so the buttstock mag pouch wouldn't stick up.
I tried to ease away from this old idjit, otherwise he would get the horselaugh.
No worries, I found a couple more M-1 Carbines and two 1903A3 rifles. Marked at $1200 or so. Tags said Barrels-As New.
From 1944? Traitor Joe Biden working here?
I pulled out my little goose-neck chamber flashlight, and muzzle erosion gauge. Guy asked what they were. I said, this is a Lie Detector🧐
I had to explain, after I had already seen the worn rifling at the muzzles of every rifle in 30 caliber in his rack. No way were these junkers going to show less than a 3 ME, probably 6 or 8.
Didn't matter, he wasn't going to let me cut the tie-wrap around the bolt and get proof of his big Lies.
I just left, and took 5 giggly woulda-been buyers down to the next joker. They wanted to know how I knew to look at that stuff. Use Google, but beware. I hear that it is racist🫤
Worst so-called Gun Show I have been to in awhile. Salisbury made this place look like pikers. They evidently had a nice Roach Coach out front, selling Mexican food that folks were standing in line to eat. Plus a new company making fresh ammo in NC, but just 9mm and .45acp.
But, the place was crowded. Even if many hadn't taken a shower in a month of Sundays.😟
I didn't hear one seller say the dreaded buzz-killer word "RARE". Of course, with Kelteks and Henry lever actions in piles, that would have invited a stampede if a seller had said his junk was RARE...
Nobody got shot, even though I wasn't asked to leave my Combat Commander in the car. So much for the fear of Nazi patrols at the front desk, confiscating ccw pieces.
Pretty much any Beretta 92, Colt Python or Glock was at least $100 over the price that I could buy them for in Asheboro, which is already too high in the first place. Must have been Pawnshops moving inventory. I didn't see a Colt brand AR-15, nary a Bushmaster, either. Just a bunch of home-brewed cheapies with mixmaster Anderson, Poverty Pony or Chineseum Lowers.
Of course, I forgot to mention, the Moose lodge was conveniently building an outdoor deck extension on the rear. Parking, other than double-parking, didn't exist.

Although the quote seems stupid in context, I'm actually glad they don't allow loaded carry inside the shows. Even with that rule, negligent discharges happen far too often at gun shows. You get a few hundred people walking around fingering every gun that strikes their fancy, and something bad is bound to happen if there aren't strict rules governing loaded magazines.
I don't have a problem with private businesses/events being able to prohibit carry, but we should have laws that automatically shift legal responsibility for security onto those venues who choose to do it.

Anybody actually been at a show when there was an "oopsie"? Just curious.
I haven't, but if I ever am, the moment the smoke cleared and I saw no one was laid out flat or spurtin' across a table, the second loudest thing everyone would hear would be my cackling.

I haven't been to the one in Greensboro but I've been to six shooters gun shows in Burlington and Pittsboro. They are about 1/10 the size of a typical gun show like the CNE or Dixie shows in Raleigh. Not worth the admission price.
I've never been there for one, but I used to go to the Nation's Gun Show in Dulles, VA every year or two. They had a guy shoot himself in the foot a couple years ago.

That requires an extended cackle.
"Anybody actually been at a show when there was an "oopsie"? Just curious."
quote from WSJ ten years ago:
Three people were injured in Raleigh, N.C,, at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show at the state fairgrounds,
a quarterly event that usually draws thousands of people. State agriculture department spokesman Brian Long
said a 12-gauge shotgun discharged as its owner unzipped its case for a law enforcement officer to check at a security entrance.
