So if we wanted to do like a small meet up where would be the best place. I have only been to the market hall a couple times but I still dont know my way around. Would be nice to beable to put a face with a name.

I'm going to show up Saturday around 1ish. Probably spend a few hours looking around.

Can't make it Saturday. Saturday will be the best of times and the worst of times.

Morning: Taking a neighbor to the range! He has never fired a gun in his life. We'll do the safety and orientation thing tonight at my house and we'll hit the range tomorrow. I'll start him off with something light, 9mm and .38. If he shows promise I might let him shoot the new Kimber.

Evening: Attending a friend of the wifes' birthday party.

Not saying which is which (best and/or worst), but a Gold Star to the first correct answer.

By the way, I'll be at the show Sunday. Anyone going then?

I'll be there Saturday Afternoon.

I'll be the bald heavy guy in the IDF T-shirt to annoy the Neo-Nazis I keep meeting at gunshows :razz:

Each vendor will have different ways to pay. Most will accept credit cards and they will all take cash. There may be some who will take checks.

I am the midnight moderator so to speak :grin: With cash waving you will get a better deal. If you are not embarrased about your offer it is too high. You can always counter and come up, but not down. Good Luck shopping.
