gun show protest

[Dark&Good]

I was going to skip this go-round of the show, but now I think I need to show up. If the crowd is anything like the last show, how will anyone even be able to spot the protesters among the teeming masses of gunnies?

Protesters protest, right?
If they dare

[Tankhatch]

If it just sprinkles tomorrow,,,, maybe the protesters will chase rainbows.

It's supposed to rain.

Hippies don't like rain.

Rain is like taking a shower.

Just keep a safe distance from them as if they were infected with H1N1 and you should be fine.

I'll drop by and poke fun on the way to the show

I'm loading up on two glasses of milk before I go.

HA HA There wasn't any Crazy's out there as far as I could see. I did see a local news station van, i think it was channel 7. Maybe I was there too early.

Anyway I have to brag about my CCI Small Pistol Primer SCORE!!! Didn't have enough funds to get many but I got enough to hold me over. Thanks to the NRA I got almost to the door in line before they opened.

[Brian_L]

Any idea if they will be there tomorrow? I'm going and I want to make sure they see me walking in with cash and walking out with a gun.

MIwall booth was about 5-6 deep.

load up on that ammo!

During my line time and show time I didn't see ANY protesters. Maybe they were allergic to rain. Or maybe they must have thought the Pro 2A people would be safe in the rain. So kind of them.

I did see a lot of people in line that were there to support gun rights, the gun show, and their own hobby. They were still in a very long line out in the rain all the way up to the time I had to leave (noon)

The Line:

See the people off in the distance? More than an hour after the show opened.

The line takes a 90 degree turn to the right and keeps on going!

It's raining and we're bored. Where are the protesters?

Get your head of the line privilege pass here! (NRA sign up booth)

[redneckshootist]

I showed up at 8:30 to try and get in line early and beat everyone. I got there and saw the ticket line and thought OMG and that was at 830am. I went and made a payment on my life membership plan and became one of the lucky ones to bypass all one of the crazy long lines. then I had to wait in line to get into the show. at the time it wasnt raining and there werent any protesters.

[Experimentalist]

I showed up a bit late (~ noon) and missed all the fun of waiting in line.

I also didn't see any protesters, although I was looking for them.

I did catch a segment on KCBS news radio with an interview of Bob Templeton, who promotes the show. Here's a link to the web site article: http://www.kcbs.com/Gun-Show-Owner-R...Accusa/4317302

It's actually reasonably pro-rights, as they admit there is no "leakage" of guns to the neighborhood.
