Do you have a CHL? I think the convention center is owned by a governmental entity.

Yep... I have all the right plastic, CHL and Glock! lol I had them zip tie the guns at slide lock and left the ammo in the truck.

I should have taken the ammo inside and sold it based on the prices I saw! :shock:

I was a little disappointed in the show as there wasn't as many stands as I was expecting. I did join the TSRA though :txflag: and get a knife for when the gun is totally empty!

It would appear that stun guns are the hot item judging by the number of people selling them!

I think I saw USA1 there but I am not sure. If he was wearing a Harley Davidson Hawiian shirt... then I suspect it was him I saw.

Nope , wasn't me . :lol: I was there at 12:30 and left at 2:00
I was wearing a blue button up and khaki cargo shorts .

I was a little disappointed with how small the show was .
There were a lot of stunguns . I kept hearing the crackle in the air . :eek6

The Glocks were way over priced ...$ 599. :shock:
One guy told the sales lady he could get the same one at Academy for $ 450.
The sales lady was rude and said " Well , you should just go to Academy then ! "

There were a lot of decent knives at good prices , but i already have two really good ones .
The best thing I saw was a Colt .380 like Joe817 carries . :thumbs2:

:razz: Thanks friend. It's truly a collectors item. I'm fortunate to have it. :txflag:

Did they have a lot of tactical flashlight guys there? There were 4 or 5 at the Ft.Worth show last week, but all but 1 inferior quality IMO. They had a Surefire vendor but $200 for a flashlight is not on my list. :lol:

Yeah , there was a decent selection . I don't recall any Surefire . But then again I wasn't looking at flashlights too much.
I was looking for a Crimson Trace Laser Sight for the LCP but there were none to be found.

Another let down was that there were no holsters except a few cheapy nylon ones.
