When the doors open on Friday

[HFDowner]

Been thinking about getting AR for several years. I have a buddy who shoots some competition. Went to gun shop the week before Sandy Hook, but did not buy. Wish I had a crystal ball. I will be looking for a basic AR at the show that I might be able to upgrade components later. Not sure if that will happen at a reasonalbe price I have been told to stick with Bushmaster or Colt.

I would like to go there on Friday but I'll have my 2yr old with me and I have a feeling it's to going to be too crowded for me to feel comfortable trying to corral my son and look at the same time. I'm just looking for a 22 pistol but not sure what I want yet or anything else if the price is right.

WOW! If you take a 2 year old there, you're a braver, smarter, tougher, patient, level-headed and probably better looking guy than I am. I surrender the crown to you...lol

Do the kid a favor and leave him home....

I get paid on Wednesday so I'll be there on Saturday. I want to be there for the Rally also. God Bless American for which She Stands........

Isn't there supposed to be a national march at the capital building also? Maybe everyone just needs to decide on one instead of having two separate ones.

I plan on showing up Friday. Heck for those looking for ak or ar just around when inline.

HFDowner, if your lucky you might find an AR. I could also recommend the Windham Weaponry, these are the folks who used to make Bushmaster before they sold the name a few years ago. They have come back with the new name above. Quality piece of craftsmanship, in my opinion.

There's no shortage of worthless parents in the world. Don't be one of them. Leave the kid at home.

how long will it take before a round goes off?

 

[Grizhicks]

My guess is it will be a "mad house"; even the show last August had a line around 3 sides of the building @ 3:00 (yes, some shows you can just walk in at 2:30, but I doubt this one). Also remember, there are several other big shows going this weekend, so parking will be "a bear". Just my2-cents. -- Greg/Grizhicks

This show has the fixins to be pretty interesting. That being said I won't be there.

See you at the INGO table!!!

 

[familyevents]

I agree leave the kid at home will be a crowded zoo!

 

[familyevents]

Is there a limit to how many tickets they can sell per the fire marshal?

Or does that not even apply in scenarios like this?

Yes the fire marshall will limit the number in, a couple years back on Saturday there, they were letting in the number that was coming out.

Thinking of showing up at noon to get my place in line. Not really looking forward to it but I feel it is necessary to restock especially after King Obama's speech today.

Wow...and I thought getting there between 1230 and 1 would be plenty early...sounds like my buddies and I may be y on back in line!

 

[dubsac]

Back in high school/college, I worked at the car wash for 4 years. Standing in 20* weather for 2 hours isn't a big deal for me.

Parking will be impossible all 3 days, due both to the 1500 and several other popular events running at the same time.

If I were stupid-enough to go, I would avoid getting in the line to park on the grounds and would instead park in the overflow lot South of 38th Street. It will end-up being a shorter walk to the building.

Why dont they rent another building or something? expand into more buildings? even without this madness it so busy in there you cant move around.
