Don't ask, don't tell?
Nobody ever told you to NOT open Pandora's box?
Holy moly!!!
Given the atmosphere of society and this topic, WHY would you ever come to a public event while armed?

Ok then, let's see.......... we got fuel, we got oxygen, just need an ignition source.
My job here is done. May we all survive the fireworks.
Legal possession of a firearm cannot be superceded by any policy or 'rule' of the MOA.
Unless a TN law or local ordinance prohibits weapons on the rally site property, the question is moot.
Discretion being the better part of valor, if you carry, keep it under wraps & only you should know it's there, EVER.
Given the circumstances in which I've ever had to actually display a firearm, yes, they are very kid friendly as I was protecting those same kids against possible harm. My kids, my family. Only happened ONE time, but I was glad I was ready.
Having kids instructed in correct fire arms application is important, but I agree a rally is NOT the location for that. Nor is such education for the masses. Some want, some don't want, but it's just not the correct venue.
I am however comfortable with concealed carry of such hardware although I do not regularly ride with such. My choice though, not everyones and I would not personally do so at such an event.
Never wrong to ask a question, but what were you REALLY looking for?
I am quite certain that the MOA could NEVER condone concealed carry, and they MUST never do so either.
If you must carry while getting there, that's your call, but make arrangements to store it off site before arriving. Even in the patron state of shootin stuff, you'll be just fine.

Sorry, I already asked.
I'm sure someone from the Rally committee will let us know what it is.
If you'd like an official response, please send a note on this question to "board@bmwmoa.org" or to "rayz@bmwmoa.org". Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I thought it may be a good idea to start this thread after reading several rally related comments on various other threads. The purpose here is to exchange information and try to answer questions related specifically to the MOA National Rally NEXT year 2009.

Now, it is your turnany questions or comments?

Thanks Greg. On the way.
I posted the question here as the very first post on this forum includes this statement:
Perhaps I read too much into this statement.
No, you read that right. But, such a policy would come from the Board, so it's not a bad idea to ask there. Your email to the Board is making the rounds right now. I can give you the short answer is that as far as I can tell we have no official Policy on the books about this, and I've never heard of an un-official one at any of our rallies - or for that matter any BMW rally I've been to.
