USA -(Ammoland.com)- Tuesday, November 15, the Board of Directors for the 22nd District Agricultural Association will hold an informational discussion on the use of the fairgrounds for gun shows.

This Association controls the day-to-day operations of the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego County.

The discussion is a direct result of a request from a handful of anti-gun residents demanding the Board discontinue the use of the Fairgrounds for gun shows.

This isn’t the first time the gun ban lobby has targeted gun shows held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

In 2013, the Del Mar City Council adopted a resolution that urged the Board of Directors to not renew any contract with Crossroads of the West or any other gun show sponsor.

Thankfully, the Board of Directors recognized that as a public entity, it cannot discriminate against who can or cannot use the Fairgrounds.

Currently, the agenda lists this as an information item, not an action item.

However, it is critical that gun owners and Second Amendment supporters attend to let their voices be heard.
