Looks like SHOT Show will be in FL this year. I've gone the last 3 years, and was hoping to make it a fourth. Has anybody heard why they changed venues?

They just do it every now and then.  It'll be back here in 2008.

They always gotta come back to Vegas. Its more fun here anyways. I wanted to go to the Shot Show too but it was gonna be in Orlando. Grrr. Gotta wait for the year after the next then.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) did a vendor/attendee survey earlier this year. The results showed that Las Vegas was the top choice as the permanent location for the SHOT Show.

So, starting in 2008 it should be here for good (hopefully).

I have tlaked with a few people about it, and unfortunatley, it is like getting a political party to have their convention at your town.  Politics Politics (bribes?)Poilitcs.  From what I heard a lot of the easterners complain in a big way about coming 'all the way' to vegas and try very hard to have it hosted on their turf.  It seems that every time it goes away it comes immediately back to vegas when everyone realizes that they get around 70,000 fewer people coming through the doors.  I also heard that there was a 10 year agreement for Vegas and this is only the 7th or 8th year. anyone heard that?
Last years SHOT show rocked!  I got lots of free schwag and the FLU!  Woo hoo!  Cant wait for 08!

Ah yeah sure in the industry  I am a waiter by profession but I "refinish" stocks on the side, or at least thats what my registration says. But the business cards I made originally were for my "bait and Tackle" shop

Nope, just register. When they ask you for an FFL they will say if you don't have an FFL why do you want to go? Put down anything along the lines of you own a pawnshop and bingo they take your $$ and you can print out your badge. At least that is how I have done it the past 5 years.

I've done it for Sema and CES, but never the Shot show. When it comes back I'll have to go.

They never asked me for anything - just paid online, then picked up my badge.
