and I have to say that if she in fact did what she described, nobody at the gun show would have any fear of her except the fear that she will keep talking nonsense to them. They would look at her as if she was absolutely nuts and then pretty much ignore her. Like others have said, I think it would be a good thing for all anti-gun people to go through the class and training to get a CCW permit. In Minnesota, they would be required to handle and shoot a handgun. I suppose they could rent one, depending on the location of the class.
