As to gun stores, the policies vary. Some allow you have have your loaded firearm on your person if you have a CCW permit. Others don't allow them to be uncased and require them to be unloaded and still others have no requirement at all.
Thank you. I forgot that President Trump will be there, so that in and of itself would be a reason for the gun ban as you indicated. Of course, the venue can make that designation as well. On a side note, I have seen a doctor's office with a posting on the doors that firearms were prohibited.
