Dan,
You want a positive? Today's shows are 1,000% safer than shows of 20-30 years ago where there were no ties at all.
A partner and I put on shows for about 5 years. After he died, I got out of it, just lost interest and got burned out. While the show is running, there is not much rest for the promoter, there is always some jackass that needs to be thrown out, a vendor out of ice or something. The 100% tie rule and the enforcement of that rule is very necessary today.
I only had one discharge at my shows in 5 years and it was a dealer on Friday night with his personal CC gun. While unloading it (all show rule, no loaded guns of any kind), a 45 ACP, he shot a hole in the floor. He was immediately escorted from the premisis with his junk sumarily thrown into his vehicle and a good by - don't you ever come back warning....
Best,
Ed
