As for the snarky comment about how people who didn't want to be recorded should stay at home with their blinds closed because cameras are everywhere..... people are especially vulnerable to being taken advantage of by photogs at gun shows because they are generally walking around either carrying a gun in their hand to sell or holding one looking at it to buy.. and still photos or edited video can be used to paint them as being Zealots. Especially if the photog happens to catch them at the right angle or with a funny expression while talking to someone. Remember what the media did to Palin in the 2008 electons in order to make her look foolish. In one situation, a Photog took pics at a angle of several teenage boys appearing to be looking up her skirt. It made the cover of a magazine and was broadcast world wide. It was a embarassment to her and to the boys. I remember a Colombo movie once with Peter Faulk where it was said... give me 30 minites in a dark room [with those photos] and I can produce a picture of you shaking hands with Hitler.If you are dealing with your local media, they have a local reputation to maintain. But with a film crew from another country or on the other side of the United States.. they could lie and tell you one thing to get your cooperation.. then turn the footage / story to make you look foolish.</blockquote>
