Noisy "Attorneys" table at Market Hall gun show

#1

Post by Greybeard »

Evidently a new player in the gun show "self defense" insurance game set up a table in southwest quadrant at Market Hall yesterday. The man (out of Fort Worth) set up a computer with the monitor facing the isle and some kind of continuous video loop going with LOUD audio containing some kind of commotion. Not for sure, but I think maybe even connected to a boom box under the table. Very attention-grabbing to those passing by. But, also quite annoying to anyone else in the area trying to carry on conversations. The guy put out brochures on his table, then largely vacated for long periods of time. Someone ;-) reported his act and around noon, he was "enlightened" on show rule #2 in regard to noise/sound demonstrations.

Doesn't instill much confidence in his product.

Why didn't somebody just pull the plug on the abandoned noise machine?

Lots of vendors get sensitive over other people messing with their stuff. Show management had dealt with it while I was getting nachos. Brochure uses typical scare tactics of civil liability.

Noticed mid day today that the guy with the noise maker yesterday was set up right next to table (also the first time noticed at Market Hall) manned by Texas Open Carry. One of em packing what looked from a distance to be an exposed, untied black powder revolver.

I forgot what the catchy name of it is, but vendor at Market Hall has a "special" (for around $10) where they also put on nachos the same meat used on their bbq sandwiches. It is quite filling. Since they don't also sell minnows ;-) , I sometimes eat that.

How were the nachos?
I've spent a lot of money on guns, bullets and holsters.... The rest I've just squandered away!
