Sherman - might be of interest to our Oklahoma folks as well, if you think of someone who lives close, @ them here.

I'll be playing hooky again this weekend, my apologies.

Couple of quick notes...

Against my better judgement, I did get tables at the DACA show for this weekend...not looking for a barn burner thats for sure, but its 5 minutes from the house and I like shooting the shit with the guys I know, and may sell a few things...

I will have a decent non-RC 98k pout there I am thinning from my collection, maybe one or two other guns...in case anyone is looking for a decent 98k...

Also rumor has it, this may be the last show at South Fork for DACA, again rumor is South Fork wants to double their fee for the weekend going forward. Now supposedly DACA has a contract in place for the shows, so I don't know how SF can just do that, but more will be known after the DACA meeting Saturday evening...

If it ends up being the last DACA show at SF, it may end up being the last DACA show period. Doubt they will be able to find a new venue for the fall shows on such short notice, more should be known after this weekend...

Updated the OP.  That would be sad for DACA.  They spearheaded the gun show movement after the passage of the 68 "Gun Control" (Fuck your Constitutional Rights) Act.

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 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.

So what's the scoop on the ND at the Ft Worth show yesterday morning?
Link Posted: 6/9/2024 8:51:03 AM EST
[#9]
From what I heard, a vendor shot his table buddy w/ a badly tied loaded gun before we opened.  Table buddy released from ER and home by lunch.

I assume the vendor is banned from all future Premier shows in accordance w/ their published policy.

I learned today from one of the lady's at the show office, someone at the show, not the shooter, dropped the mag but didnt clear the chamber.  They zip tied the gun.  Shooter adjusted the zip tie and BAM!, round to the shoulder somewhere.  

I'm kinda not sure about that.  Before the ND we vendors were supposed to tie off our guns.  To me I'd think he tied it off and got a bang.  

But I dunno....  After the shot, when we were coming in, they made us get a cop to tie off our stuff.

In a gun store, and particularly in a gun show, there is often no safe direction to point a gun when handling it.  Even when I have customers check the sights on the .22s I show them, they have to transition from floor to ceiling, which means they inevitably flag 20-30 people at the larger shows.  The guns on my table are either pointed at me, the vendors behind me, the vendors across the aisle, or people standing on either end of the island.

In a gun industry convention, like the recent NRA show in Dallas, all the display guns have the firing pins shortened.  At a gun show, that's not possible, the guns are for sale, so all the promoters require guns to be tied.  Premier has 2 pages of instructions on how to tie each type of gun:

That's awesome, whoever did it was still a complete idiot.  You yourself said it occurred before the show opened.  It ain't THAT crowded to not flag someone with a loaded weapon.


Treat all guns as if they are loaded - THAT didn't happen

Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction - Strike two

Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot - Not really

Be sure of your target and what's behind it - Unless he hates the guy he shot!

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.

I signed up for this weekends show because its hot outside and I have some jingle in my pockets hoping something cool will walk by! Also- unless it breaks again this year AC

She said I have to have something on my table so I will have a storage bin of random Uzi parts/kits, random Garand parts, and a bucket of random magazines out of my random box.

I did find it odd she is charging $150 for tables without FFL's that intend to sell guns.

Updated the OP.

I think that's following the shooting a few weeks back where one vendor either shot himself or his buddy, stories vary.

Set up today, this show is partway between the full size 1200 table normal Premier show and the half size old Lone Star shows.  If you don't see your usual vendor in their usual place, keep looking, some folks got moved around.

I drove up yesterday morning with my dad. Been probably 2 years since we last went, but sure seemed like this one had more knife dealers than gun dealers.  I didn't buy anything, dad only bought some candy.  Saw a rifle I wanted, but the dealer was overpriced.

Kinda same assessment as above - the small vendors are being squeezed out by the price increase on tables. That leads to an overall less interesting show if you are looking for something other than mass retail items.

Even though I didn't show up she only charged me $100/table.  I was expecting to be hit with the increase.

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 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.

That was way more than a 4 hour gun show.  And you do know that.  So just chalk it up as one of your losses.

The Tattoo guy doing ink at this show was a first for me. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Also, $12 admission.

Some years back at Big Town, a dog and his snack got into a fight over who was to be dinner.  A vendor jumped into the fray to save the smaller dog and got nicely bit for his pains.

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.

Looks like DACA found a new venue in Garland, but some of the dates have seemingly changed.  No reflection of any of this on their website.

You can cancel your gun show, but that won't stop people from showing up.

It's really bad if you cancel your gunshow, but don't change the dates on your own website - looking at you, Winnsboro Chamber of Commerce.

The DACA website seems to have a security issue anyway...  they're http, instead of https.

Pity I won't be in town in late Sept.  I could walk to this show.

Think they let their token expire again.  Basic website maintenance is not the strong suit of gun show promoters.
