A gun show, an OC lunch and seminar, and a big ten champ game all in 1 day! Looks like December is going to start of with a bang. (ugh... hopefully not literally)

Well being that I've met a number of people who have come south for lunches/picnics. I will make the trip north. Plus I can ask stupid questions to Yance and mess with him!

No no no no no no! >:(

That's the Fuddapalooza- they don't allow lawful carry of any sort (CC or OC). Don't give them your money; they don't give a rat's ass about your human rights! :o

You want the one at the Deltaplex. http://www.jjsportshows.com/

They support your rights; lawful carry is OK with them. ;D

Its not GUN rights, its HUMAN rights.

Are there two gun shows on the 1st and 2nd (28th st. and DP) or is there just one at the Deltaplex?

I agree with your feelings about allowing you to carry, but the last time I went to the Deltaplex (in august) I was in and out in about 15 min. It was pretty much a waste of my money. I'm not going to fault anyone for standing up for their rights, but I would like to get my money's worth. Especially if I'm looking to buy.

Your thoughts are why the dealers don't move to the other show.
Dealers will setup wherever the money is.

You are certainly free to sell your human rights to the highest bidder; that is your right. As for me and mine, ours are NOT for sale at any price.

Just be aware, you're not helping the revolution.

As I've said before:

I mourn for those that would hold their hard won rights so cheaply, that they would willingly feed at the trough of their oppressors. For those that would, I leave you with the words of a great patriot, Samuel Adams-

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Or, more to the point-

If you love to save a few dollars at some gun show better than freedom, the falsehood of one man's rules rather than standing up for your human rights, move along to another internet forum more fitting to your cowardice. Go to your oppressors, and save your dollar, and thank them for emasculating you. You are no friend of liberty and freedom; you deserve to live in fear of your government. Farewell, and don't let the door hit you in the ass!
Its not GUN rights, its HUMAN rights.

I take it that there are two shows on the same day. I didn't know they did that. Thank you for the info. I also did not know that one restricted carry while the other didn't. Thank you for that as well.

Shadow, every time I have met you in person you have been very nice to talk to. I apologize for having offended you.

He just has a thorn up his butt (somewhat rightfully so) about gun shows and gun stores that don't really support our rights.
