I might take you guys up on the Knoxville show. When is it? I usually get a 8' table just so I don't have to walk around all day with about 40 lbs of guns. BTW, you can find some REAL GOOD deals this way.

I would be in for staying at a table on Saturday at the ARPC September gun show in Albany, OR.
Would be a good chance for us Orygun ar15.commers to get to know each other and promote ar15.com NMSight |

If I saw an AR15.com table at a show, I would definitely stop by for a chat.
If there were a terminal with a connection to the site, then it would be great. |

That would not work out around here. only FFL's may sell guns at most of the gun shows around here. I have not been to a gun show in awhile around here. The ones at the "Trade Center" Used to charge for parking then it was another $5 to get into the gun show. My wife does not do any of the gun buying but I got to pay for here to get in. Then there are never any good deals. $30 for AK mags, $40 for USA ar-15 mags Used Glocks for $550 new one for $650. I just lost interest in them around here.

[:D] BTW, will we be able to sell cheap toys and turquise knock off jewelery ? [:O] |

I usually hit the central part of FLA which includes Melbourne Ft Pierce Orlando Kissimee Lakeland Tampa We could all chip in on the table fee Local AR15'ers could work shifts I could try out my hot peanut recipe Sounds good to me! Who's in Florida? |

I think it's a good idea, but I'm not sure how well the AR15.com merchandise would move, if most of the people haven't heard of us. I like the idea though. Especially IMHO's idea of having a computer set up with internet hook up. Maybe, we could push membership and have one of the cheap t-shirts thrown in for signing up right there on the spot. Of course, bigyeti, you'd need to run this by GoatBoy and JLA. Your idea, you run with it. |

Nope!! Just throwing it out there.. It could be connected or not.. Either way, we'd meet people, share a table and if AR-15 approves we would be proud to show our affiliation and support in any way deemed proper... Who knows where it could lead...
I just emailed GoatBoy to check the string and offer input... |

Sounds good to me. Thats the whole problem with meeting other members you go to a show and you know they are there but You just cant figure out whos who.
I think it would lead to alot more members getting together to do shoots and such. NMSight... that would be cool. I may have to go see that shoot Ive never been to a MG shoot and I need to sign up at the ARPC anyway. |

NMSight,
Is it just me or have the ARPC gun shows been pritty small the last couple of years? Ive noticed they have almost completly lost all of their hunting rifle vendors. especialy weatherby. Its too bad to see that happen. Last time I was there all I heard vendors talking about was how the people were there and no one was buying anything, and how there was no money in selling guns ect. They need to figure out a new way to attract people and vendors. |

OregonShooter,
Yes, I think the last "big" show was the one right brfore y2k. However, I went to the one this spring and thought it was pretty good. I actually like them better when it's not so packed that it is hard to get around. While I belong to ARPC I never have had time to help with the shows. They have been trying new things to get the attendance back up - giving free passes for Sunday to those attending Sat., etc. I think part of the problem is less disposable income. I know I usually just buy ammo at the shows, and maybe a couple mags. I haven't bought a gun at one for two years now, but I have made contacts there and bought from some of the vendors at a later date - so part of the vendor complaints may be unfounded if you look at the total business they get from a show and not just what they sell over the weekend. I'll check my work schedule for this fall and see about a table. Any word yet from the ar15.com powers that be on whether the table could offer ar15.com stuff? NMSight |

Ok, Computer Guy! You're from Orygun, AND always peddling mags. I'll spring for the table, you can have it to yourself on Sun. as I can only make Sat. Then Sat. we can set a spell and visit all day. Maybe talk about such things as.........hmmmmmmmm.... pest control.
To draw more of a crowd in, you could give a few practical demonstrations such as take-down & maintenance of an AR. Maybe a little wood carving demonstration for custom pistol grips - you know, just enough possibilities for you to get hurt enough to draw a crowd but not enough to actually need a trip to ER.

Capital idea. I just got a notice from Crossroads of the West about a gun show July 6-7 at AZ State Fairgrounds. I'd LOVE to purchase an AR15.com polo, except my computer doesn't bring up the pics of the apparel, and I shy away from buying ANYTHING sight unseen. Could I work a table? Sure. I've worked a table for a manufacturer before, and if you guys have never done it, it's a hoot. That time of year it's best to work in shifts-because of the heat-unless they have it in an air conditioned venue.
