Thanks to jotus for setting this up and to all who showed up yesterday. We don't have exact numbers on attendance or the actual number of guns rescued (all sales were between private parties), but we believe approximately 45 guns were rescued from the crusher/cutter. It was definitely a success, especially considering we only had 3 days to set it up and get the information out. Most of the people I spoke with who came and were not associated with this forum had just heard about it in the last 24 hours prior to the event.

The media coverage wasn't what I hoped, but it was better than I expected. I watched Fox and NBC and recorded both ABC and CBS. I especially wasn't thrilled with Fox's coverage. The lead into the story eluded to something about a confrontation, but the reporter at the scene did not mention it. Bud Gillette of CBS ran the best, most factually honest report about the event.

It was a real pleasure to finally get an opportunity to meet some members from the forum. For those members who came but I did not meet personally, I'll make sure I give a decent description so you can find me the next time, and there will be a next time. No definitive plans yet, but we are working on them.

I will be there on Saturday for sure.
