SHOT SHOW in Vegas next week be sure to stop by exhibit!

#1

Post by chrisdxn »

I will be at the SHOT SHOW in Vegas Jan 14th-17th. Kelly McMillan and I will be
at the McMillan exhibit#13772 second floor of the Sands Expo center. We are
center and way at the back.

If you are there please stop by. I am very excited as this is my first time to go.

To me a guy going to a gun show especially the SHOT SHOW has to be similar
to our ladies going to a jewelry store.

My understanding was that Shot Show was an industry event and not open to the general public. Is this correct?

True...but almost anyone these days can get a FFL and call themselves a wholesaler. I have been very tempted to get an FFL just so I could
buy for my own interests.

You're correct but there are ways to handle that, especially if you have friends in the trade. For example, I have a standing invitation from one of my buddies who goes every year but once was enough, especially if they keep having them in LV.

Right on! I'd consider going if it was held in Cabool, MO, Maydelle, TX or some such but, I ain't lost nothin' in Las Vegas.

Just discovered this summer that my wife's uncle owns a gun store and is a gunsmith. Think I'm going to have to have a conversation with him.

If you can figure out someone to help you get a ticket.....Spirit Airlines is super cheap on tickets. This is my first time to try them
out and I am hoping for a non-eventful flight.

These guys will be at the SHOT SHOW. I loved this video... " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"Spirit" Airlines is named after their previous customers. :biggrinjester:

You know, next year if someone really wanted to go I could get them into media day, but I would need them to come onto the podcast to talk about it. Who knows, maybe next year I will go.
How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?
