This is nothing new from this promoter. I had a similar incident from newman. I used to follow the show circut a long time ago and attended the shows in ny,conn and mass that this same promoter had. I was set up at the poughkepsie show with my militaria and had a welded ww1 gew mauser action on my table. I had bought it just for the stock as the the barrel was pluged, reciever drilled and bolt welded into place, a non shooter. I sold it to a customer who was stopped at the door by newman who quickly came to my table with an officer asking me if i sold this. I replied yes and he informed i was under arrest for selling a rifle without a BC. I pointed out the welds and stated it was a non-gun anymore and told the officer that is not a shootable rifle but a club anymore. After more arguing with newman, the fat promoter, the officer walked away, no arrest no warning. You cant trust that promoter. He even tried forcing me to accept a customers personal check when i have a cash only rule. The same promoter runs the matamoras gunshow and applies ny rules in pa.Within a few minutes, one of his employees arrived with three police officers and informed us that even though he personally agreed with us, the "plaid shirt" man wanted us to leave the show.
. Though we were asked by his employee to consider returning to another show, we have thought about this and will not be returning to the Newmart Promotions Inc. shows even if we are (which I feel safe in believing we aren't) welcome back.
