Goodman's Nashville Gun Shows... No More? Any truth to this?

I sent them a link to this thread. Perhaps it's something they aren't aware of yet.

If what I was told was accurate, there's no way they couldn't know. I'm anxious to see what the report is.

More replys:

Nashvillle Metro has NOT contacted me regarding this. Its all rumor.

Then:
In reality, a “straw purchase” is when a person buys a gun for another person and the other person is not allowed to buy a gun himself. Therefore if that is what is portrayed in the video then the Bloomberg people hired Felons to conduct their investigation?

No laws were broken and thats why there are no arrests either.....

Now...ME talking

I don't think it was straw pruchases...it was selling to the person...in person...that couldn't pass a background check.

Perhaps it IS true and Goodmans is trying to find alternate arrangements before letting the news out...perhaps its Karls wet dream...time will indeed tell

I really don't want to turn this thread into conjecture about why it may have happened IF it has. Firstly I wondered if anyone else had heard the same and could substantiate the claims. Secondly, if it were true, then it would be further example of just how far off base the Metro ruling elite have wandered.

Anyway... just seemed rather odd that I heard about it from two different sources, neither of whom know each other, and both within 2hrs of one another.

No, what I was told is that Metro has told the Goodman Show that it is no longer welcome to operate inside Metro Nashville. Period. I have now heard this from several people, one of whom is an attorney and somewhat privy to this sort of information.

I would suspect that more information will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead, perhaps even from the Goodman folks. I think it's a bunch of crap but nothing that Komrade Karl Dean does anymore surprises me.

I told you Dean's probably been sharing spit in the shower with Bloomberg.

FWIW, if it's true I really hope that they fight this nonsense. Anything that affects one of us as 2nd Amendment supporting, liberty loving citizens, affects all of us.

This wouldn't surprise me at all if true. Once the fairground's property comes under city control, under this Mayor the gun show's gone. Don't forget, as soon as HB962 got overridden by the Legislature, Dean had his law department looking for ways to keep guns out of restaurants and bars. There's no question he would have used the beer board if he could.

When I read this last night my first thought was to ask some friends that always set up and sell at the Goodman show. They just got the following email reply apparently from David Goodman

Absolutely false. Whoever is started the rumor needs to be booted from the blog.
We have signed contracts and are engaged in lawful business. Pls set the record straight.
I will advise anyone who is starting false rumors to cease and desist.

Dont confuse the Fair which has been discontinued with the Gun Show. The fairboard is disolving as of June 30, 2010 and the property will then be taken over by Metro department. They are just transfering control.

I'm happy to hear that the rumor is false, then. In light of that, I am closing this thread unless something else comes up that makes it a valid course of discussion again.

Never know!

This tidbit was received by a TGO member from their Metro councilman...

There has been no cancellation of shows at this time. The Mayor and Board is closing the grounds on June 30, 2010. At that time all events here will cease.

There are efforts to find a suitable place for these type of events. Hopefully, there will be a place found for Mr. Goodman, and other vendors. Thank you for your

question.
