I say it would be fine for certain people to wear camos to fun shows, just as long as they are those chem suits with the activated charcoal liners.

Quoted: I say it would be fine for certain people to wear camos to fun shows, just as long as they are those chem suits with the activated charcoal liners. I think thats because of the horrible stench from some of the people that never shower. If you wear charcol suits then its ok. but I mean regular cammies. |

You will find me wearing the same thing, every gunshow. Cowboy boots, jeans and a Krispy Kreme tshirt.
BDUs hold no fascination for me. Imbroglio has a point. The fascination would wear off if they had to wear full MOPP gear for several hours. |

How to assemble proper Gun Show Camoflage:
Ingredients - Old BDU (Cammie's for Jarheads) Pants Black T-shirt with some stupid logo Pillow brown beat up boots - laces optional -Stop showering on Wednesday at the latest. -Put on the pants and black t-shirt Saturday morning -place pillow in from of t-shirt for padding. -Don boots, socks are optional -check mirror - if heair looks to neat, dip hand in ash and rub into hair -For added effect once at the show, stop to touch as many guns as possible, be sure to leave big greasy fingerprints. Then, whenever a seller talks to you, start talking about how it looks like a gun you used when on secret mission in 'Nam (note: younger folks can insert name of South American or other county as suits your style). Follow this recipe and you will blend in perfectly. Adam |

Some people draw straws for who's designated driver. The shady sellers pay me to be designated distraction so they can sell all those LEO marked mags.
I either go in my keystone cop costume with "ATF" printed on the back.... [img]http://costumezone.com/images/products/a/ac191.gif[/img] ....or in a t-shirt that says [i]"Plain cloths ATF agent, can I frisk your wife and daughter?"[/i] It really gets their(ATF guys) goat! Yeah we have a big laugh, slap each other on the back, then they beat me like cake batter and drag me out of the show as I'm yelling "LOOK! See the violence inherent in the system!?" Then the shady sellers slip their LEO mags out on the table while the ATF guys are busy with me. It's a real hoot. I make some pretty good cash, but usually get paid in ammo, beanie babies and jerky. |

[b]But of course![/b]
Why am I going to let the anti-gunners and narrow-minded needle-necked pricks determine how the Hun dresses? I sometimes friggin' take a nasty assault weapon for a 'walk' at the gun show, just because this is [b]Texas[/b], and we can! For [u]now[/u]! I remember a friend back in the old days (early 70s) who was always insisting that when POT was to be smoked, it should always be smoked in the most OBVIOUS, OSTENTATIOUS, and OPEN manner! Why? He said that if we continued to hide smoking POT, that 30 years from then we would still be hiding POT smoking! The way to overcome an evil law was to openly defy the evil law! Let the authorities enforce it, and the people will see how evil the law actually is! I have to say that there was a certain logic about his tactics. So as we drove around Shreveport, he would be smoking the biggest, fattest joint ('Bomber', if you will) that he could roll! When the LEOs pulled up alongside his car, they immediately knew that the fellow wouldn't be so openly smoking such a fat joint in front of them! So they laughed and drove away! As I say there was a certain method to his madness. [b]In April, 1976, my friend was busted for possession of POT with intent to distribute and spent 4 months at the Caddo Correctional Center (the 'Pea Farm', as we called it).[/b] I said the was a certain [u]method[/u] to his madness, not that it was terribly [u]smart[/u]!

I prefer wearing BDU pants (not the jacket) over any other pants - why? Because they are so damn comfortable, I don't have to wear a belt, they have lots of storage, etc.
I think some people are just too sensitive to what the media is trying to portray "us" as. Lighten up and don't concern yourself with crap like this. |

Just wondering, because I haven't found a method (besides shoulder holster) that doesn't require me to wear a belt. Even a paddle holster doesn't work well for me unless I'm wearing a belt. As far as BDUs are concerned...I don't wear woodland ones, but I do wear black or kahkie(sp?) ones. I like all the pockets, and they are comfy as hell. |

Cammo?
Cammo is for kids and wannabes, active duty military excepted. Why be the fulfillment of Michael Moore's propaganda? OTOH, sometimes for recruiting purposes at antique gun shows, we'll put on 18th cent. "camo", albeit red...[url]http://www.najecki.com/40thfoot/40index.html[/url] ....or green [url]http://www.angelfire.com/home/95thrifles/[/url] We don't do it at "modern" gun shows- too many overweight, bearded losers who smell, and ALWAYS claim they have an M16 at home (suuuure), know that the Kentucky rifle "won the American Revolution" (wrong) and that modern military drill and marching is the same as it was back then, so they don't need to drill with us- just show up at events. (F*** you, pal....DEAD wrong) |

Nope. Jeans and a t-shirt.
BTW, Chimborazo, probably depends on what you carry. I agree anything full-sized requires a belt. But in warmer weather, I carry a SIG P230 (.380) in an Uncle Mikes IWB that has a clip on it. No belt needed. A t-shirt conceals the pistol fine. |

I might wear the pants once is a while, but due to my age, haircut, and tattoos they probably make me look more like a skinhead, than a militia member. But, they are the most comfortable pants I have found yet.

While I don't wear camos anywhere, I do own them, and everything else that a modern militiaman should have.
I do get a kick out of some of the posters here, and their "political correctness". No ones opinion will dictate to me what I wear, or what I think. Who the hell cares what the sheep think. What, you don't like camos because of "appearances"? Screw you..... You're just as bad as the enemy. |

I've worn Utilities in the Corps and then BDU's in the Army for over 26 years. I'll damn well wear what ever I want, when I want, and that includes BDU's in public or in the woods. I even wear that Mossy oak pattern too. I earned the right to show my pride in front of whoever I choose, if they take offense to it fine thats their right too.

I can never get the red paintball dots totally out of my BDU's. Everything I've tried. Pisses me off.
Usually I wear khaki's or jeans, boots, and a polo or button down "work" shirt and a scally cap. Which would be what I wear every day. *shrug Wear what's comfortable for you, I don't give a shit. |

Whenever I leave the house I put on this camo:
[img]http://www.foxoutdoor.com/product_fx/images/large/8340.jpg[/img] It blends it with everything I encounter...[rolleyes]. People at Baltlimore Ravens games actually wear this stuff. BDU pants, boonie hats, bandanas, tank tops.....I almost spit out my soda in the hair of the lady in front of me when the guy walked up in a leather Ravens jacket, with the BDU pants, and a boonie in this pattern. Where exactly would you encounter a plethora of purple in nature, and if you did why would you chose to run a "stalk" through it anyway? A lilac field? Maybe a field of heather? [rolleyes] Ed |

1. whatever is clean

I go for the "militant farmer" look. Overalls, boots, ballcap, t-shirt, assault weapon slung on back.
Who cares what they think. They're stupid. Edited to add: I'm not rally a farmer either. I'm a sys-admin. I guess that makes me a poser! |

I wear nothing but a carbon fiber thong. But, its for a purpose! I show up early, usually before the vendors and wait at the door. As soon as the door opens I sprint through the gun show picking up every good deal.
This is why everyone comes to the board after a show saying there were no good deals at their show. Show up earlier, you'll have to see me in my carbon fiber thong but you just might beat me to a deal [:)] |
