5-6 May Poorly timed small gunshows in Cleburne, Mineral Wells, Sulphur Springs, & Lewisville (Premier's small show). Lewisville show may be handy to send out-of-towners to if they've never seen a gunshow before, particularly any foreign reporters.

The NRA sells an annual membership w/o magazine (No American Rifleman, American Hunter, etc) for $10.

Membership gets you in the show.

They SHOULD be selling memberships @ the door; OFFascist and I will report tomorrow when we get there.

I never remembered to get my membership recently so I'll be joining when I get there.  If I can sign up for a $10 to get in, I will and post thst here.  That'll allow me to sign up the three kids at the same time. I'm going directly from work at 7am from Rockwall do fingers crossed on parking and good weather.

Edit.... Felt sick since midnight, hope to make it otherwise it'll be Sunday for me.

At least the traffic will be better.

Was headed down but then the rains came and since I couldn't get a ticket to the forum with the VP/Pres, I turned the TV over to TBS to celebrate Star Wars Day and stayed home.

Sorry...  I was the "official flag" yesterday.  I was wearing my Arfcom hat and got stopped by another guy at the booth.  Eventually there was about 10 of us.  I thought I'd make it today, but obviously that didn't happen.  Will try again tomorrow.

Of all the places to have one, this would be it.  Almost everyone connected to the industry was there, saw some YouTubers 22Plinkster and IraqVet8888 there, even saw the Army Reserve Recruiter table setup.  Hell, even Steven Crowder dressed up and participated in trolling the antis at nearby City Hall.

Missed it for medical reasons. Hard to walk the hall when you can't get out of bed.

What was the protester scene like outside the Convention Center?  Take this from the Dallas Observer with a grain of salt. BTW: the pic on page 11, was that all of the Mad Mommies that showed up?

Mine is dead.  But my wife pooped out a few, better get her a card. Real ones from the kids, a screwed up one from me.  We always give each other the wrong holiday card.

It started when her Principal had a basket of Valentine's Day cards and told them to help themselves.  My wife took her time and all that was left were cards for a wife.  She just crossed out every instance of wife and out husband.

Been four years of that.  My two best were a Kwanzaa card for her birthday (in October, I had to plan ahead AND not lose it) and a card in Spanish for our anniversary.  I have no idea what it said

I don't think I'm going to make it tomorrow. I got asked to do some work tomorrow, so I'm tied up.

Besides, it's just not a gunshow without backbencher.
