I had a really good time.

Last show I volunteered a rifle for display, this time I was behind the booth.

I had a great time, spent too much and talked to a lot of calgunners and hopefully future calgunners.

The Burritos were good, highly recommended.

The guy selling the safes, what can we do about that?

It was funny actually. He had set up on our table, then he complained and we got moved...

On the good side, two tables worked out pretty well, last time one table just had too much overflow. I could understand why he was upset but like others have said, he's got bigger problems than being next to our booth.

Eff him!

Last show I made an effort to make sure that we were good neighbors. Pulled overflow people from our table who were crowding his, talked to him about legality, let him know that we were there to answer questions, etc....

And even after he'd pulled his "panties in a wad" trip - he STILL sent prospective customers to our booth to confirm that his product was a legal way to transport a pistol. What chutzpah.

I'd like for him to offer an apology to Dragonfly for being a D***. Then, I'll THINK about being nice to him.

CalGuns reserved 2 tables ,and I personally confirmed with X-Roads a few days before the show.
We were assigned tables W-42 and W-43. Tables are like politicians,when you buy 'em they are supposed to stay bought.

We are falling back to re-group with a lot of new show goodies for the 2010 season.The next CM show we will do is March 27 & 28. Order your Blue Polo now from gunsR4.us to avoid the stampede later ,and sign up for what day and shift you want as soon as the thread is posted. Have a good time at the booth and welcome to the 2A fight.
