The news was confirmed by a statement on the NRA website itself. The statement on the website clarified that no fire-arms would be allowed in the Charlotte Convention Center, and the Time Warner Cable Arena. The statement also makes it very clear that the legal rules and the regulations of the convention centre also prohibit carrying the firearms, so the attendees ought to be very careful. The statement also makes it very clear that no body would be allowed to sneak in, any sort of gun or firearms, as all the attendees would have to undergo a thorough security check.
The statement posted on the website says that, “North Carolina State law prohibits the carrying of firearms in the Charlotte Convention Center, and the Time Warner Cable Arena. In addition, the Rules and Regulations of the Charlotte Convention Center prohibit the carrying of firearms in the Center. Pursuant to Time Warner Cable Arena policy, all individuals entering the Arena will be subject to a magnetometer security check.”
