The NRA allows licensed gun owners to carry at daytime events at the Music City Center. Concerts and other night time events are held at the Bridgestone Arena. The Bridgestone Arena bans guns for all events, not just the NRA.

The clause about inoperative guns refers to vendors - any gun they have on display for sale has to be inoperative. That is a common sense safety policy when you will have thousands of people of varying ages and skill levels handling the guns.

Nice try - next time when you read some anti-NRA rant on an anti-gun site, perhaps you should take the time to dig a little deeper and get all the facts. Because guess what - controllers can lie and spin just as well as the NRA.

If it was meant to "clearly" refer to NRA it would have said louis-t Apr 2015 #31

The subject is the NRA. the venue was never mentioned. Jenoch Apr 2015 #32

The venue is referred to in a larger sense, it's Nashville. louis-t Apr 2015 #33

Your sarcasm meter is broken. blueridge3210 Apr 2015 #39
