I'll be setup with a table of goodies. Of course, my obnoxious hawaiian shirt will cause disruption of your synaptic responses and you will voluntarily pay extra, just because. ;-)
I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; empty guns kill people every year. -Elmer Keith. 1961

Guess that could give us all a meeting place. Would be nice to put a few more faces to some names. I know I'll be around there about 11 or 12 there abouts. I think I be the one wearing a red button down shirt with dragons and flames on it. Might stand out some. :lol:

I'd love to try to make time to stop by today or tomorrow.

Hey, I was wondering... I've seen folks carrying openly at the show. What are the rules on that? Obviously you can't bring in ammo but what's the deal with bringing your pistols and rifles to gun shows?

They have to be unloaded and checked in at the front desk with the police, where they put a zip tie on them. The reason you see people walking around with guns is because they just bought them there or are bringing them in to sell. You're not allowed to carry a loaded weapon at any gun show I've ever been to.

I'm going to be there Saturday afternoon. Will be bringing the whole family along.

Will be wearing a USS Hartford ballcap. Feel free to say hello if you see me. Would be cool to put some faces with forum names :)
