Weapons
All weapons must be peace bonded. Anyone foolish enough to wear any kind of weapon outside the Hotel, should expect to be arrested. In the recent past, there have been several arrests of people carrying toy guns in the Inner Harbor district (the area the hotel is in). Merchants in the district pay extra taxes for extra protection, and the police take their jobs very seriously.
Pets
No pets are allowed in the convention areas of the hotel. Working animals are not pets.
Smoking
Due to Maryland State Law, this is a Non-Smoking Convention. Putting a lot of legalese simply, don't smoke unless you're in a designated smoking area, a smoking room, or outside. You can be subject to heavy fines and arrest. No kidding.
