Why not set it up at home? It takes up one little corner and you get the added bonus of being able to play lightgun games, which my kids cant get enough of!

There are lightguns that work with LCDs. They use the same principle as a wiimote (LED bars at the top/bottom of the screen, plus some calibration). Accuracy isn't 100%, but it's no worse than the CRT lightguns I used in the past.

So no need to lug that CRT around just for that.
