Thanks for the info. I was mainly going to see if it was posted.

On a side note, I've been trying to send you PMs but they are staying in my outbox for some reason. Don't know if you remember telling me to hit you up once I finally got stationed in Hood to get my HL class, seeing as I only have a TN resident permit right now.

PMs stay in your outbox until the recipient reads them.

Check your PMs, PM sent with contact info. I have been remiss and not looking at my PMs.

Prices weren't competitive with retailers, lots of shoddy old military junk, cheap knives and just general garage sale type junk.
My days of going to gun shows are over.

Same here. I went to that gun show and was really disappointed. 90% of the big hall was empty space. I cruised through the tables in about 10 minutes. Same thing you saw - above-retail prices, lots of junk, knives, etc. Total waste of time.

As far as carrying, I didn't bother, but at the check-in table there was a police officer. Not sure what he would have done if I'd been printing.

Anyway, yeah, no more gun shows.
