Fine. Maybe it's not illegal. But, unless you are a law enforcement officer; police. security, etc., there should be NO reason to have to carry gun into a public space. It is absolutely unnecessary. If I end -up in a situation where one of these people thinks they can or should use their weapon, who's to say he/she will be acting in the best interests of everyone there and ot just themselves. If I happened to get in an argument with one of these people, who's to say they wouldn't think it's fine to threaten me with their gun. Guns have the tendency to make  every situation more volatile.
