my wife isn't home yet to watch the kids, my son isn't feeling well or we would be there.

Sorry you couldn't make it. 8 of us did, and had a nice time.

Me neither. I work for a major defence contractor, however the client is not the U.S. government. It's the UK.
You even spell it like your customer...

Just like Dale City. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. Trader Jerry at one end, Dark Sun at the other, holsters, ammo, antiques, and junk tools in between. Only difference as far as I'm concerned is I saw guns I haven't seen before. Bought one, too <grin>.

I almost didn't go, but had a senior brain fart last time and bought an annual pass (I don't know why I thought that Fredericksburg, Dale City, and Winchester were all the same promoter). So I had to get my money's worth.

Oops.. shame on me. Should have been "defense".

They do spell some words differently than we do. Didn't know about this one.

Oh well...I'll be making it to the Nov. Chantilly show for sure.

Trader Jerry's is a great bunch of people there. It's nice to have a quick conversation with Jerry himself while waiting on the NICS check if he's not too busy at the time. Bought several times from him. :)

Dark Sun, well, I've had several bad experiences with those guys, never bought from them because their attitudes put me off every time, at different shows too. They won't see a lick of my money...ever. :X

Good more for me, I love watching the guys from Dark Sun work, and they do have the best prices on a lot of guns.
