 ises.  Upon demand, the license shall be exhibited for inspection to any

 firearms  may  conduct business temporarily at a location other than the
 location specified on the license if  such  temporary  location  is  the
 location  for  a  gun show or event sponsored by any national, state, or
 local organization, or any affiliate of any such organization devoted to
 the collection, competitive use  or  other  sporting  use  of  firearms,
