• Why attend a Gun Show?

Gun shows - particularly in these times - offer a unique opportunity to find a diverse selection of Guns, Ammunition, and Accessories usually not possible at a brick and mortar store. Many shows carry products that are difficult to acquire any where else. Traditionally the nature of shows - having multiple vendors selling the same or similar products - breeds a level of competition ultimately leading to better price points for attendees. Many attendees also enjoy the atmosphere of being around other likeminded people. Ultimately there are numerous reasons people attend gun shows and we strive at every show to provide something for everyone.

• I have a Concealed Weapon Permit, can I carry my loaded firearm at the show?

Unfortunately the answer to this question is not up to us but rather is covered under California state law. The relevant penal code is PC 27330 and reads as follows:

"No person at a gun show or event, other than security personnel or sworn peace officers, shall possess at the same time both a firearm and ammunition that is designed to be fired in the firearm. Vendors having those items at the show for sale or exhibition are exempt from this prohibition."

• Do you offer Active/Retired Military discount?

Occasionally we have promotional tickets for eligible veterans, active-duty military personnel, first responders and their families... please visit Veteran Tickets Foundation at www.vettix.org or First Tickets Foundation at www.1sttix.org to check availability (You must use an existing or create an account to request tickets).

• What is your Pet/Animal policy?

We get this question often, and the answer has less to do with our thoughts on pets and more with what our venues contractually obligate us to enforce. At all California Gun Shows LLC events pets are not allowed to attend the event.

Please note that properly identified ADA qualified service animals are exempt from this policy.

• Can I bring a firearm(s) to sell at the show?

• What is the process for purchasing a firearm at a show? Is a special lisence required?

• How much is parking at the shows?

Here at California Gun Shows LLC we do our best to keep costs down for attendees, which is why at every venue possible we pre-purchase the parking rights. Generally our shows offer Free Parking to our attendees, however if a venue was unwilling to work with us on this we will note on the show page if there is Free Parking or not.

Please note that if a venue requires a fee for parking then they are 100% in control of the costs associated with it and should be contacted prior to the event to see how much the fee is.
