I would just find away around it but getting the same effect. This would be the rare exception that no one thought about. After the convention, no one will care.
Local preemption laws exist for a good reason. That is why most states have them. Without it, each county had their own regulations which were not widely known, causing accidental criminals, but did nothing for public safety. In places like Wyoming, where a county has the same land area as Vermont or Massachusetts, it is not a big deal. Here, you can drive through three counties to work.

I can't see why republicans would ban guns inside the convention. That would piss off the NRA.
