I miss the days

Post by RPBrown »

A few years ago when the TSRA held their meetings in Mesquite, several of us would get together and rent a booth (started as just a table but quickly grew) at the gun show where we as forum members could meet, stop in and introduce ourselves, have a cup of coffee, and/or just rest for a few minutes. There are several members that got their start on here from those meetings. Now, since moving to Austin, I have not seen anyone attempt to put it together. :confused5 . This was a great way to put faces with names.

I remember that! I was there! I remember meeting Longtooth, CompVest & her husband, SIA, and a lot of others. That was at the annual convention, back in 2010 IIRC. I miss it too RP. :cheers2:

If that was the one where Governor Perry spoke (and I think is was) then you no doubt bumped into me, as well. That was when Charles was executive director of the TSRA, correct?

I’ve contacted my State Rep, Gary Elkins, about co-sponsoring HB560. Have you contacted your Rep?

Yes! I was the one who brought a bunch of knives to set out on the table and wound up going to a knife guy's table and selling most of my stuff! :lol:

I made up a special TexasChlForum.com name badge and wore it the entire time I was at the gun show. I thought it was a great idea. :coolgleamA: SIA and I rode over there together.
