Is the gun show scheduled for this weekend (1/8-1/9) still planned? I can not find anything about it.
Thanks
Jack

Thats news to me, I didnt know the civic center shows charged that much for admission. Its been a few years sience I have paid admisson to a show. I do know the Civic Center charges ALOT to the promoters for the civic center room.

Yeah I pretty much quit going because it was a lot of the same stuff over and over and the admission wasn't worth it. When I was looking for a rifle for my GF the $10 or $12 it cost for both of us to get in will buy a movie at the elks and I can count that as a date... I might come to check this one out though.

Son plays high school hockey Friday night in Rapid (Pierre Capitals 5-1 vs. Rushmore Thunder 5-1). Could be a preview of state championship weekend in Feb.

Think we'll stay over night and cruise thru the gun show Saturday morning. I'll try to look over your table/goods MrM4

Perfect day for you all to get out of the weather.

Didn't make it today as I had hoped. Did get me 3 deer though. Maybe I'll buy myself a birthday present tommorow. Good stuff there? Looking for some 338 lapua and 50bmg supplies, or maybe something like a Mosin for a decent price.

Shoot, you guys missed all the fun this weekend.

There were two NDs within 5 minutes of each other. Same guy, same gun, a .25 auto.

Nobody hurt, nobody injured unless you count pride and feelings.

Oh, and it happened, oh about 10' behind me and about 30 feet from MrM4 while Surly was standing at his tables.

Some non-gunowner nitwit. Claimed someone else loaded it.

The first one should have gotten him a severe tongue lashing. The 2nd should have gotten him beaten to death with the fucking gun. Wow what a tool!

Where did the ND rounds end up?

One went into one of his totes, and the other seemed to have gone into a wall. He was set up in the corner at the end of the aisle from the door.

I was setup kitty-corner across the aisle on the inside corner of that aisle from him and was standing with my back to him when it happened. MrM4 was set up in the other corner of the room, right down the row across the back wall. The NRA guys were set up between them.

I don't know if he'll be allowed to set up for other shows or not. We'll see come April 8 I guess.

I can't and wont speak for anyone involved but I have been informed that he has been banned from all future shows in Rapid City aswell as some other shooting related events in the area.

Wow looks like I missed all the fun.

With as crowded as the shows get at times, lucky nobody got hurt.

If you consider flea market garbage a part of the show. No guns or accessories...just junk. Guy has no business with one so it seems.

I guess. That is a double dose of retard right there. It went off the first time so it must be ok to finger fuck it again cause that bullet is gone.

Sorry guys, I got my fat finger stuck in the trigger guard and couldn't get it out.
Those guns are SOOO TINY.
































Actually, I'm kinda glad I worked all weekend and missed everything.
Mostly, though I'm very glad no one was hurt especially considering how packed these shows can get.

Reading this I'm just picturing the conversation in my mind:

Customer: "So you don't sell guns, or anything related to guns, at the gun show?"
Tard; "Nope, I only gots me one gun, a Lorcin .25 ACP, that's all anyone needs."
Customer: "Oh?"
Tard: "Yeah, the .25 ACP, the C stands for combat. It's what I carried in Nam on my scout seal recon missions. I liked it because I could shoot someone in the left eye and the bullet would bounce around and scramble their insides like eggs, then exit their right knee."
Customer: "No you didn't."
Tard: "Of course, that's what They will tell you, my missions are still classified."
Tard: "Here, look at this, I made the grips out of the tusks of a walrus that I stabbed with my Ka Bar. I carved a notch in them for every man I've shot."
*POP*

...5 minutes later

New Customer: ""So you don't sell guns, or anything related to guns, at the gun show?"

It was pretty anticlimactic. If I was the guy, I'd relocate to Not-So-Great Britain and become an avid drunkard out of shame.
