A change for Old Cannon

So, as of May 1st, I am amicably departing my full-time computer nerd job in order to pursue my FFL business in earnest, much to my spouse's trepidation. I doubt a storefront will be coming soon, but I will have longer hours and (maybe) some more awesome things in inventory. There's a chance I might fail at this financially, but I love the business I've made, and I love helping my customers (many of you!) find (and learn) things that help them be a happier shooter.
With this decision, I will also be at the NRA Annual Meeting. Feel free to stop me if you see me and say hi...I'm the 6'1", lumbering redhead with the goatee :) I will likely be ambling around with a wooden walking stick that's about as tall as I am, not so much for support, but to make myself a little more visible.

Thanks! I already saw that and will likely use it!
I still can't figure out if I'm supposed to register or something. The NRA website isn't particularly...um...awesome.

No pre-registration now for the exhibit hall. If you don't already have your credentials, you'll have to stand in line at Entrance C or Entrance E to the George R. Brown Convention Center.

There are definitely pink ones. I'll see what I can find from my dealer network.

Just remember the great thing about having your own business is that you can work any 60 hours of the week you want!
It's all a matter of luck, and the harder you work, the luckier you get.
