Ted Nugent's Management Bars Pro-Gun Rocker's Fans From Bringing Guns to Concert at the Last Minute

Fans attending ​pro-gun rocker Ted Nugent's concert Tuesday night were reportedly not allowed to bring their guns inside the theater.

Nugent's management made the decision as a result of a sub-contract between the singer and his promoter, ​according to 10 News, just minutes before the show began at the Berglund Performing Arts Theater in Roanoke, Virginia.

"It happened about five minutes before we opened doors, we had a security meeting before we opened doors and the subject came up and we said, 'Yes people will be bringing firearms,'" Berglund Center General Manager Robyn Schon said to 10 News. And Nugent's people said, "Uh, no, our agreement says no.'"

"Given the ​things that have happened in nightclubs like the Pulse and what happened in Manchester, (Nugent's) security people are taking extra precautions," Schon added. "They are not novices; they are very seasoned people."

who boasts of his zest for bow-hunting innocent animals wherever he can find them.

When he's not terrorizing wildlife he loves to promote guns, and rage against Democratic people and principles.

Who sh-t his pants when he was due to go into the military, and walked around in his own excrement because he was so scared of having to go to war for this country.

paraded around on stage a few years back with a machine gun (don't know if it was fake) and told lewd things he would do to Hillary with it?

Too lazy to look up the clip -

The only good audience is an armed audience when you attend one of his concerts.
