Backpacks allowed in the show?

[Work]

I looked on their website, but it's not the best. Does anyone know if backpacks are allowed in the show? i'll be heading down today, but i'd like to take a bag in with me so i dont have to carry things i purchase individually.

They always have been. Guys walk around with backpacks on, things for sale in them, signs on them, stuff like that.

That's what i thought, but i haven't been down in 5 years or so, so i wanted to make sure before i walked up with my bag and got turned away.

I think they reserve the right to look in your bag on the way out. I'll try to beady up my eyes and look more suspicious than usual to see. Will let you know.

I've never had them check my bag on they way before. Usually just ask ask if you have any guns going out.

This has been my experience as well. I usually take a backpack in when visiting as well. You will be good to go.

I always take a backpack to gun shows. If they won't let me have a backpack, they're going to be stuck with me pushing around a utility cart, and they really don't want 1000 carts clogging up the isles.

I always take a bag and will today. They ask about guns on the way in and on the way out. Never a problem. My bag usually has a bottle of water and some snacks
on the way in and, hopefully, a gun on the way out.

Yes, police asked to look in on entry last time I went. It was empty, so they were just like, "OK".

FAR more interested in being "not sure" if my receipt from Paintball Addiction was legit than my pack. Minor league douchebaggery. Thanks to PBA for the rifle, and to the INGO faithful for.their friendly hospitality. DeadeyeChrista really likes her new shirt, and her auto from Brad's and Knifelady's booth, and her ankle.holster. She had a ball.

Here she is picking out her ankle holster. Her mama was just as pretty (almost) back in the day.
It was a good day

Are there paintball vendors (or airsoft vendors) there? I should know this, but do not.
The son is quite interested in both hobbies as of late

I carried a bag all evening at the show. When I left they just asked me if I had any firearms in it and if so they wanted to look and see if you have a receipt for it or if it had the orange zip tie you would have obtained upon entry with a gun.

I did see a few Paintball guns, but no booths specializing in them. Paintball Addiction is a fellah's INGO user name.

I misunderstood and thought the receipt was from a vendor
