    Gunshow WARNING- PLEASE READ !!!!!! IMPORTANT

    Moderators please forgive me for posting what is probably not OK for this particular section. Please use this info how you can to help others.

    SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE AT GUN SHOW !!!!!!! Watch your 6 !

    Today I went to the Costa Mesa Crossroads Gun Show and was followed to my car by two very suspicious men. They tried to ask me questions about what I had purchased (which was some boxes of ammo) and followed me to my car. I did not get a good feeling about these guys. I told them to stand back and leave me alone because I did not know them and they were making me nervous. One guy then said he had a concealed weapon permit and was carrying a loaded gun. I told him to leave me alone and they finally walked away. When I went back inside to return a cart to the ammo booth they warned me that there were several instances of people being followed and robbed. Even 3 home invasion robberies were reported after the last show up in San Francisco of people being followed home.
    Please be careful and watch your 6 out there if you buy anything at the gun shows with value. There are some scary people with bad intentions out there willing to steal from you. If these guys were cops, they sure did not have any manners. I doubt they were.
    Please pass this along to any friends that may be going to the shows. Hopefully this message will make you more aware and stop something from happening to you.

      If you are getting followed just swing on by my house....

      But yeah, you should ALWAYS be watching your six, especially when leaving a gun store, range ect.

      I would have informed the security at the show.
      I do not provide legal services or practice law (yet).

            "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are neither inclined, nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

              Gun Show

              I bought a lot of reloading components, primers and powder. My buddy suggested I take them out to my car because of the weight of my backpack. I told him I had heard of cars being broken into and items stolen in the parking lot. I found someone I knew, who had a table, and they let me store my stuff with them until I left. Sounds like I made the right decision.

                        The buddy system always works, keeping a good distance from others also works. I like to run screaming "butt rapist" "butt rapist" at the top of my lungs when I am feeling threatened. Works all the time.

                        ...you know there was a weird guy tailin us at the show today. Strange.

                            My buddy does that too.

                            I saw him at the last Cow Palace Gun Show putting his "loot" away. He was walking to the car with beef jerkey in hand (mouth too) with his GF pushing a handcart with what appeared to be 10K rounds of various calibers.
