Question to those who have worked the Cabelas' NRA Days before: about how many people actually come up to the table and engage you in conversation or ask for more information?

The reason I ask is because I would like to get a bunch of full color laser printed newsletters in your hand to give out to interested parties, not just people walking past, if that would be of interest to us.

I would also print a special 31st page that would tell them this is a an electronic pdf newsletter with 150 hyperlinks to additional content that they would need to access via this URL:  http://miopencarry.org/moc_files/publications/newsletter/MOC-Newsletter-2.pdf  and anything else we would like to say.  I think I can supply 50 or maybe even 100 full-color copies of the 30-page newsletter.  How many do you think you will need?  50?  100?  200?  More?

I assume you will be providing MOC Tri-folds for those interested.  In the past I have printed out copies of the MSP Legal Update #86.   I think I ended up foisting about 80 copies on my son and told him to give them out to his friends and strangers he meets.  I can also supply over 100 of those if you want.  That's easier, it's smaller.

I will be out of town that weekend so I won't be there myself, so I would have to get them to someone beforehand.  Actually I will be back Sunday afternoon and might be able to work Sunday afternoon if needed (maybe 4 pm until 8 pm close).  It sucks, though, because it's like a two hour drive from my house.  But if needed I can probably do it.

I worked the table all day both days in February and we had a good amount of discussion. On Saturday we ran out of MSP 86's and had to get some more brought to us. I can't give you a number count, but we did spend more time talking to other people than we did among ourselves. I know I plan to be there again both days and will have a lot of all the literature this time. Copies of the newslettter would be a good addition I think. Would you be printing these double sided? Reason I ask is it would be cheaper that way and easier to pass out as people wouldn't feel they were taking a book lol.

[Ezerharden]

OP updated.

[gryphon]

Would you be printing these double sided?

Yes.  If MOC would like to pass these out, I'll try to get a bunch printed up (and MSP #86, too).

I know what you mean about the 2 hour drive being a pain. I drove it the last 2 years for the NRA Days at that Cabelas.

[Ezerharden]

Fortunately I'm closer lol

[Ezerharden]

Less than a week away, any more volunteers?

[linux203]

I can be there on Sunday from 10a to 4p.

[Ezerharden]

Cool, much appreciated!

[Ezerharden]

Morning coffee in progress, hope to see you all there!

[Ezerharden]

Our table is located back by the fishing department.

[Jeff]

I could not make it today, the person I was going with had to work until 5am but we plan to go tomorrow.  Hopefully I will at least get to say hello and watch the Sunday seminars.  I was really hoping to get there today and watch the one Philip was speaking on, I don't suppose anybody is going to record it for those that may want to have seen it?

I should be there Sunday though if nothing comes up.

[Ezerharden]

Sorry to hear that. I don't know that any one will be recording Phil. I will be at the table so I can't. Hope to see you tomorrow.

[gryphon]

Stuck in Virginia.  Hope all goes well.

[part deux]

I so wanted to attend today... serious family issues trumped

[linux203]

Our table is located back by the fishing department.

Not by the firearms and firearm accessories?!?

[Ezerharden]

nope

[linux203]

I knew there are CPL instructors teaching students that a CPL means you can't open carry, meeting people today showed me how prevalent that misinformation is. Truly sad. I'm glad I went. I'm glad I had the opportunity to educate.

[Ezerharden]

Yes that came up as well a many other good questions and good conversations. We did an excellent job this weekend. I would like to thank those that came out to help man the table, Divegeek, Detroit Fan, Linux203 and Onnie. Great job guys!

[detroit_fan]

you're the one that did a great job ezerharden, you put in WAY more hours and than any of us!

[gryphon]

Was there good interest from the public?  Did you run out of handouts?

[TheQ]

Was there good interest from the public?  Did you run out of handouts?

About 20 attended my presentation where I went over: preemption, 750.234d, 28.425o, and answered questions.

[Ezerharden]

Was there good interest from the public?  Did you run out of handouts?

Didn't run out but went through quite a few. We had many people approach and ask questions or thank us for what we do.
