Title: Shot show
Post by: sksmedic on January 12, 2012, 08:40:57 PM
Just realized that I'll be in Vegas the week of the shot show.  I'd love to get in but alas I am not a dealer. Anyone have any suggestions that don't involve me opening a gun store?

Act like a gun groupie and sneak in?

Volunteer to bring gear into the hall?

Bribery?

Try man try!!!!!

Walk in backwards at the exit?

Do you have a local dealer or big box store you do good business with?  Dealers get several tickets, and they can take anyone they want (employees, and you're a longtime employee  ;) ).

My gunsmith has called me to see if I want to go, and he asks at the club every year to see if anyone wants to go.  I asked at one of our big box stores where I spend money, and the gun manager told me he can get extras in.

You could always try this approach. But if you do, please try to do it by the KRISS table, as I've always been curious about their products. ;D

Have any of you been to the NRA meetings and exhibit? If you have, then multiply that mess by about 1000 and you'll get an idea what that zoo is like. What you see on the TV reports is done on media day or there about. No one could pay me enough to be there. There are so many people there you can't see anything anyway.

You could always skip the SHOT show and go across the street to the AVN Expo.   ;D

Well I was unable to obtain tickets to the shot show. I know... Sad story.. So the mrs and I are going to AVN instead.  Try not to feel too sorry for me.
