If you're in a wheelchair take a cattle prod it may help you get through the crowds.

No worries, the ADA pretty much insures you access.

Carry a rifle on the chair, preferably with a bayonet. You won't have to worry about any crowds.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990, and is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
Under ADA, Individuals with mobility disabilities must be permitted to use wheelchairs and manually powered mobility aids, i.e., walkers, crutches, canes, braces, or other similar devices designed for use by individuals with mobility disabilities, in any areas open to pedestrian traffic.
However, temporary conditions that are minor ( colds, flu, etc) don't qualify as disabilities under ADA.

ADA. Why sure being in a wheelchair qualifies. Being permanent or temporary, been there. Done that.
Some years back when I was pretty dinged up I got a bunch of brochures sent to me from the state. ADA was new and they were working hard to get the word out.
It's one of the very few laws that has, for the most part (there are always abusers), done what it was supposed to do.

You'll probably get to bypass the line, and get right inside. Good luck at the show, good luck with the foot.
Went to the show Sunday it was kind of small but everybody was courteous. I'm 79 years old so the prices were way to high hahahah
never saw any money changing hands talked to an older friend of mine that went Sat he said he never saw any body buying anything, this was the 3rd show here I'm afraid it wont last if the venders cant make any money. All in all I had a good time and nobody got mad at me for being in a wheel chair.

In my neck of the woods, only the uneducated are buying guns because EVERYTHING is over priced....gun shows are disappointing in this area anyway because they are small to begin with. I have purchased one gun at a show in the last five years and that was new and because I wanted to take it home that day...more money than brains sometimes
I had a body shop years ago in NYS when the disability act was passed. An A$$hole came from the state one day and after an inspection told me I had to widen my entrance door and put in a ramp to allow people entrance to my shop. I told him I didn't have to widen or add anything, With that he told me I could face a large fine and closure of my shop until i was in compliance. That was when I took him over to the driveway level 10' wide by 9' high overhead door and opened it and asked if this was wide and level enough to allow for disabled people to enter my business. He shook his head and got in his state furnished car and I never saw him again.
