Lawmakers both state and local are turning up the heat on gun shows held in public venues on the West Coast.
The Orange County Fair and Expo Center Board of Directors met Thursday to discuss the future of gun shows at the fairgrounds and stalled a vote on rental contracts for three gun shows planned for later this year, The LA Times reported.
Although the events were cumulatively valued at over $278,000 for the county and the California Rifle & Pistol Association is pointing out that the Costa Mesa Gun Show has a perfect record of complying with both local and state laws, the fair board said they are being cautious.
“I think what we need to do is to be prudent and to be cautious and to be sensitive … and wait until we get some law enforcement guidance about licensure and those other issues that were brought up,” said Nick Berardino, who is on the board.
Orange County is not the only one pumping the breaks on gun
