Also, in a moment of delicious irony, in July 2018, Ted Nugent himself banned guns at his concert at the Berglund Center in Virginia. The venue is city-owned, so management cannot deny open carry permits of citizens unless it's specifically requested by the performer. The manager of the club, Robin Cion, said that the request came from Nugent's team. Quote, given the things that have happened at nightclubs like Pulse and what happened at Manchester, Nugent's security people are taking extra precautions. When the subject of guns came up, Nugent's people said, oh, no, our agreement says no.
