We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

As we haven't set the location yet, does the River City Diner work for you. I know we plan to be there for Lobby Day but they do have good food and are accepting/supportive so see no problem with doubling up on their business - works for me.
If you like the idea - what time works for you. We normally get together at 0930.

Bring the wife & kid with you. As you are not "officially" assigned a shift you can sit for as long or short a time as you want. You get extra karma points for bringing youngsters of any age to a gun show, and your wife can look at the leather goods and jewelry as well as the guns. And you can show her how much better good range bags work as diaper bags - got all those compartments that are just the right sizes.skidmark wrote:Coordinating with my wife and tending to my two-month old will dictate when I can make it.

These are actually pretty good ideas.:idea:
The antis have fictitiously painted us as terrorist, dangerous, and criminals they probably couldn't fathom that we would have cute, snuggly, little babies.

Be on the lookout for the antis. I spotted some at the last gun show. I suspect I had one follow me when I was carrying a rifle I was selling. They were probably going to use me as an example because I was selling a Stag. I think I lost mytail when they heard me tell an interested party that I would not sell my rifle to someone that didn't have a driver's license and a conceal carry permit.
So much for the "no questions asked" lie.

The show was like previous ones extremely busy but unlike earlier ones seemed to have more of everything. Scored the good AK and AR mags - paid the price too. Saw plenty of AR and AK parts, .45, .40 & 9mm ammo was sold way down but still available.
All in all great show.

My first Showplace show. Interesting. Nearly as big as Chantilly, but with a VERY different crowd of attendees.
Found a new .45 that just jumped its way into my purse (yes, yes, by way of my checkbook - but private sale).
