Let me know.  I remember the last Big Town show before Premier took over.  No AC, that was miserable even as a punter.

I think it was 2 possibly 3 years ago the Fort Worth shows AC was bust in the summertime.  It was miserable

Fort Worth- AC is working and it’s the full hall.  Wear comfy shoes.

Updated the OP.  Holler at me, will set up later this afternoon.

Fort Worth Will Rogers - Premier - RebleYell, backbencher, & tacton intend to set up.

Please note:  We have a particular issue in catching cancelled shows, especially when a promoter or listing site doesn't or can't update their website.  If you know a show has been cancelled, please post up or drop us a line so we can remove it from the schedule and save someone a long drive with Biden's gas prices.  If you're wondering what shows are listed, our box runs from Abilene to Bossier City, LA, and from the Red River to Waco.  We also include the biannual Tulsa show, as well as SHOT.  Notably, we do not post shows south of Waco in the Temple/Fort Hood area - unless there are no north Texas shows scheduled that weekend.  We are blessed in north Texas w/ active Promoters, so happily we have very few open weekends.

Please check the OP on Page 1 for links to Promoters, ARFCOMers, & Comestible locations.

Please don't @ the OP.  I read and update this thread regularly, even when I'm at the show.

I just noticed that the Dec. Allen show may be the last there. Are they getting pressure from the city or the venue not to have them there anymore?

Dunno.  It's an ice rink, so may just be a change of schedules.

I think I'm going to try to make the Mesquite show. I've got a couple of guns I need to sell.

It's been forever and a day since I went to a gun show, what's the rule for LTC carry on premises?

Private event, so you can be trespassed by the show manager if you bring in a loaded gun.  Leave the ammo in the car and the cops will tie it when you come in.  Whatever caliber it is you can buy some and load your mag as soon as you leave the show.  If you need help cutting the tie holler and I'll come out & cut it.

You can CC in the attached hotel.

Whats the word on the price increase at FtW Will Rogers?

I was told by an FFL buddy they raised the price to $150, but Premier's website says $100.  I made the mistake of going to the Waxahachie show last weekend, I was told by several they werent going to pay the higher price, but others told me they were charged the normal $100.

Premier is charging FFLs & non-gun sellers $100/table.  If you have a gun for sale on your table but are not an FFL, they're charging you $150/table.

Waxahachie isn't a Premier show anymore, it's American Gun.

Hey Backbencher...  A suggestion to improve scrolling this thread for the people.  And site resources.  

When you make a new post with all the upcoming shows, delete the content of the previous post will all the upcoming shows.  

Just a thought.

That's a thought - but it also erases the timeline of past shows.  I could delete all the ancillary links below the schedule, though.

OK...  that didn't work out as I planned.

Strip what's redundant.

Let's see.  BRB - something like Post #5 towards the top of the page?
