Hypothetically speaking. [;)] Let's say that this fine board known as AR15.com, in conjunction with the TX crew puts on a event.
Let's say its in Waco, TX. Let's say its during Columbus day weekend. Let's say that we would have a few of the finest in the firearms industry showing up. Let's say you may have a chance in winning prizes. Let's say the event cost of admission would be reasonable. Say somewhere around $65 which would include dinner on Sat. night. Let's say that this would be a quasi AR15.com convention of sorts. Let's say that you will get a chance to meet some of your favorite staff and moderators and spit on their faces personally, tell em of in person. [;D] Let's you can finally collect from those folks that posted they would buy you a beer next time they see you. Would you attend? Well would you...hmmm??? [i]Edited to add the Gunstock name to the post, now that it's public... THANKS A LOT LT!!! [=D] -- GB[/i] |

Hell, I'd be there if at all possible! I'm only an hour from there.
Let's do it!! |
|
hell, im already kissing the wifes ass and saving up to possibly rent a motor home, its only a 5 hour drive for me!!!!!!!!!!
though, to do it i may have to babysit the 14 month old BY MYSELF for a full weekend, so i may not recover in the 2 months separating the two events.............. |

Is this Gunstock in October of which you speak? I'm seriously considering this. I may even be able to go down early and help set up stuff!

thats no shit, i hosted a little shoot down here for about 15 folks and didnt do half of what i expected to do, not because it was impossible, but because all the fancy guns distracted me!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted: Does anyone want to kick my ass? View Quote Yeah me!! Unless of course you come with offerings. Like a hottie chicky snack for me, money or at the very least an adult beverage. |

Quoted: ...and saving up to possibly rent a motor home, ... View Quote What's the name of that RV rental outfit who screwed over our friends? |

sounds interesting, will have to see if finances and other obligations will permit. btw, what's airfare to Texas from CT?
|
|
TX to CT, with say about a months notice should be around $250-300 rnd trip. Maybe cheaper if you go to Orbitz.com or cheaptickets.com
As many of you know that TX is also a class 3 state. So if you guys are travelling from another Class3 state, I suggest you guys get your forms to take your Class3 out of state early. Here's the form for you class3 folks. [url]www.atf.treas.gov/forms/pdfs/f532020.pdf[/url] More details about the shoot should be out this week. Sometime. Maybe. Fingers crossed. Maybe not. I don't know. |

Also for those folks with CCW, here's a list of state that TX has reciprocity with.
[url=www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/crime_records/chl/reciprocity.htm]CCW TX Reciprocity list[/url] So, does this make it interesting yet. TX is a class3 state. TX will honor some states CCW. We will have a pretty huge range for you guys, including a 1000yd range. Overall, this event will be held in the most gun friendly state out there. It is in between the West an east coast. |

Quoted: FirearmTom1 and I are going if it's on for sure. View Quote Well.....I think that you will know that answer within a few hours, or at the very least the next day or two. [:D] |

Damn this sounds like something I should get involved with... oh wait, never mind. That weekend is my yearly gathering of toe nail collectors.
See, we get together in Hackensack, NJ and we share our toe nail stories, show old clippings, and even watch film or toe surgeries. It's a wonderful time and although no woman attend, we're hoping that some will show up. (Last year we PAID for a few, and they refused to show up [=(]) In all seriousness, this hypothetical gathering will be a wonderful time for everyone. How? We've learned a great deal about the community in the past few years and we want this gathering to show you just how much. The range is TOP NOTCH and will be staffed with AR15.Com members, shooting experts from the community, local range instructors, and will feature everything from open shooting to scheduled events. Vendors and industry reps will be on the premises to talk about, and sell, great products. (Where else can you not only MEET, but hit the range with these guys!) To top if all off, you will be surrounded by the people you've gotten to know online here and on other websites. |

View Quote Like I said in the Texas forum, I will be flying into Texas from Seattle for Gunstock. This event sounds badass, I need somewhere to stay, any ideas yet? |

When the Gunstock website is launched, there will be a list of Hotels listed as well as their phone numbers for you make reservations. [8D]

ok, my wife gave me the initial thumbs up, so unless something unexpected happens i'll be there, probably will at least haul PowerSlave along with me, if his wife lets him go as well.
and even if im broke, i know a guy with a bumper pull travel trailer he may let me borrow..............i think my 496 can handle it by the way, its a silver crew cab if thats the route i go, i will have beer, need only to look me up [<]:)] and while it may damn well break me and force me to sell all the tools out of the back of the truck, i will honor past "buy you a beer" offers.......... |

|
Now just what kind of TEXAN would miss this shindig? Even us transplants KNOW better then to miss this one! Yup, I'll be there.
Any possibility of having a JCG match? |
|
OK people, this thing got a violent shove from hypothetical into reality. [=)]
There's a new forum for event discussions and the event website is live. |
|
ETH................15000 posts? how in the hell does one pull off 15000 posts??!?!?!?!!
but anyway, like myself, powerslave is in bar something unexpected happening. so count on at least two of us from corpus coming up. only possible thing that could tear me away is if valero wanted me to take my operations test that weekend.............now that would suck. |

Quoted: Does anyone want to kick my ass? View Quote One name comes to mind: [b]Rallywagon[/b] [:D] 2 days before the BRc last year he posted that he was going to kick everybody's ass when he got there. We had a great laugh when he finally showed up! |

Of course I will be there..

If you are planning a road trip:
Why not get together with other members, on the route, and caravan? |
|
BTW, most of the DFW Crew will be working this thing, (We were drafted).
Here is your chance to meet the guys you read about. I hear the Ilikelegs and Theredgoat will have a photo kiosk where you can get your picture taken too....... TXL |

Sounds like one heaping hell of a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, I already have my vacation schedule made out for the year. That, and the drive down from Michigan seems a bit much for a weekend. Y'all have fun and hoist a beer for me, ok. |
|
Well its been officially anounced.
