Whew…
Made it to the end, and survived another one… The crowd was not as heavy today as yesterday, but still lots of folks there!
Comments from various folks-
Usher lady- Two and a half days and not ONE grouchy person, I’m amazed!
Usher Man- Y’all are the politest folks I’ve seen in years in here.
On duty LEO- It’s just not natural; way too many people, and everybody is polite; I almost feel bad for taking overtime to work this… Almost…
Booth person 1- BIG damn crowd, very sharp, lots of informed knowledgeable people all three days!
Booth person 2- My feet hurt… and my brain hurts from the questions!
Booth person 3- Good thing it’s ending, we’ve run out of everything!!!
On duty(ish) LEO- Hey, they told me to walk around, didn’t tell me I couldn’t “look” while I was doing it! (with three gimme bags in the off hand)
For the ladies, there were quite a few “ladies only” boothes; Flashbang holsters was VERY popular every time I walked by there were 8-10 ladies there. Across the aisle was a booth with ladies handbags with concealed carry pockets (they ranged from VERY discreet purses, to outlandish (sparkles, designer, colorful). Other boothes did have items for women, holsters bags, etc (including hunting gear and pants that actually fit).
And this was pretty much the ‘status’ of most displays… EMPTY!
And a tease for later…
I’m off on the rest of my road trip, so probably no post tomorrow… I hope I’ve answered folks questions, and at least given y’all an idea of the show.
Thanks to NRA Media for allowing us to participate, and special thanks to Philip Schreier for allowing us to get educated on the Museum guns that were here!
Sounds like a VERY successful show, and a great time for all involved. Glad you got to go!
Drive safe!
Rev- it was!!!
WSF- I wish… I’m in Hawaii on the way to Guam !!!
I’d love to be able to wear a Flashbang, however, I think they are made for women who are more, ahem, blessed than I am. I’d look like the three-breasted hooker from Mars if I tried. But they are a great idea!
MC- that is a visual that hade spitting coffee… Natural is better anyway! And there “are” other carry positions available. Although I did see one woman yesterday that probably could have concealed a desert eagle!!! Her back HAS to be killing her!
