    I'll be there all three days! I've never been to any gun event this big so I want to get the most of it! I'm looking forward to it!
    It will take all three days. The first to wander taking it all in, then the next two to focus in on what you really want to devote more time to, and then do it. The Glock booth usually had a line a 1/4 mile long waiting to see the Gunny last time around.

    Yep, buddy will be coming over from Ohio and we plan on being down there everyday! First time for both of us to be at a show this big.

    Any tips, or must see exhibits, or must attend seminars? Thanks!

    I haven’t read all the pages so my apologies if this has been discussed. When I went in 2014, driving from Boone County, finding a parking place was difficult at best. Anything within 3-4 blocks was full and spots were scarce even 8-10 blocks away. I don’t remember what day I attended.

    Three of us plan to attend. I think it might be prudent to get an Uber ride down and back. Subtract the parking costs, fuel, etc. and an Uber round trip may not be that expensive - especially when split three ways.

    I found a parking garage. Wasn't too difficult. I just intentionally picked one away from the center.
    Then, I just walked.
    As long as it's not raining..

    Hoping they will update their app soon from the 2018 version. It was pretty handy last time I used it for search and floor navigation.

    That's my plan! I may visit some of the bigger booths that I know will be more popular on Friday since hopefully there will be less of a crowd. I don't know yet of any people I want to meet that will be there, but I'm sure there will be!

    I invited my 30 something boys to join me for this. I thought I had heard that family members (my boys) could join me (life member) for free.
    I went to register and I find that is true but only if family members are under 18.
    Do they hold tight to this rule? Do you think they will they check ages? If so is there an entry fee for non-members or do they just have to join to attend?

    My boys are not members. Is there an entrance fee or do they have to join to go with me? EDIT... I see they have to be members. I will sign them both up when we get there. Thanks

    You want an Associate Membership for them. Its like $10 but they dont get the magazine or other discounts, etc.
