Assuming it's a private venue, then they have the right to place any legal limitations that they feel are necessary. If a restaurant can keep me out for wearing a t-shirt (dress is considered a form of free speech), then a private entity can bar access because I'm armed.
The problem is that this was a public demonstration of gay pride, and the organizers threatened the Pink Pistols for legally carrying firearms. I find that to be repugnant.
