The above is one of those misconceptions that, because of endless repetition, take on a life of their own. It has little if any basis in fact.
The NRA, in the instance(s) quoted, was merely following the wishes of law enforcement in the area where the convention(s) in question were being held. I have personally attended NRA events where carrying firearms wasn't prohibited by law, and where most of the people there were carrying.
