[Mr. Magnum]

Will be taking the kid to grandma's & heading to the gun show that saturday.

Anyone else planning to go?

 

[UtahRSO]

Hope I can make time to go. I've been somewhat disappointed at the last couple. The prices for the things I've been most interested in haven't been any better than I can get without paying the gun show entrance fee. But dummy me, I keep hoping to find that great deal.

 

[Jeff Johnson]

I actually want to go to this one. There's a meeting afterward of the Utah Shooting Sports Council (for members) that I also want to attend.

I'll have to see how swamped I am at work. It's been crazy this month and won't let up all next month either.

 

[Cinhil]

Well I will most definitely be there. I will have a booth where I will be selling knives, mostly folders, for SRC Knives. I encourage patrons of this site to attend, stop by & chat or purchase a knife as a back up just in case.
Mostly though, this will be a good opportunity to meet some of my fellow packers & enjoy the show.
See You There!

 

[Jeff Johnson]

Yep, I made it to the gun-show.
I may have seen you, Robie, but wouldn't have recognized you.
There were lots of tables with many different kinds of knives.

We'll have to see if we can make progress on a summer picnic so that forum members can meet...

 

[Mr. Magnum]

Chances are, I saw you too, but had no way of recognizing you.

We were there on Saturday. If you remember seeing a guy in a kilt with a pretty redhead on his arm, that was me.

 

[Jeff Johnson]

A kilt?

I guess I did see you then. It was right at the end of the gun-show. I saw a man wearing a kilt walking out the doors with a woman.

This is why we need to have a UCC picnic this summer... So we can recognize each other.

 

[Mr. Magnum]

Yep, we do need to get that picnic planned.

 

[Cinhil]

I didn't see anyone in a Kilt, but my sister did. I was in the first booth on the southwest end of the show. Knife sales were a huge bust for the majority of the dealers over that weekend--I mean, real bad. I even heard one dad tell his 8 & 9 year old boys, "No, we don't touch those things." That got me to wondering why the heck the guy was even at the the show?
My girlfriend wasn't raised around guns and never fired one before. She got up the courage to come and spend the day with me. She is a bit more comfortable around them now--so thanks to all you good people who were so well behaved! I took her over to the training booth and had her fire at the simulator and she did fine. The range is next. At least she has no trouble with them and is comfortable around me while carrying.
Jeff, call me so we can get together and discuss a picnic. We really need to come up with a good site and a # to plan for. At this moment I have no idea what we could expect, and I would hope we could start making this a yearly event. My daytime # (best one to leave a message or reach me) is:
801-587-6561
Call soon.

[Mr. Magnum]

Yeah when Jeff seen me, I'd actually returned to buy a knife. Unfortunately the traffic sucked eggs & I got there about 5-10 minutes late to get in.

There was a guy over on the south side (possibly near you) selling what appeared to be non-military M9 bayonets with loooong blades.
I have a custom bayo. mount on my Russian shoty for that type of bayo. & wanted to get one of the long ones for it.
Oh well, it's not like I can't live without one. I've still got the army issue one. :lol:
