T shirts will be included in the pre-registration. Additional t-shirts will be sold at the even. As far as I know there have been no plans to sell shirts on the web as of yet.

Those from out of the area, try to get a caravan going and bring more people from your area, or meet up with others on the way....

Quoted: 16 hour drive from Tucson. Not bad. I ain't flying with my MGs. I'm gonna have to make this trip! 16 hours? You must drive slow! I made it from the south end of Austin to Phoenix (Chandler) in 16 hours ON THE NOSE. And that was with stopping for 45 minutes in Las Crusas for breakfast. And I was barely keeping up with traffic! hehehe It was exactly 1021 miles from my parent's driveway to my uncle's driveway, and took me 16 hours exactly. 550 of those miles were in Texas! It's one damn big state!! (Texas - Bigger than France) Come on over, we'll show you a good Texas welcome! {edited to add} Hey, LT, does that range have facilities to possibly have something like an IDPA or a Tactical Carbine match?? We might could get Mike of TexasTactical to run something for us up there. |

LOL. I got the hourage (is that a word?) from mapquest. I think Hell Paso is about 5 hours. So if Waco is another 8, then I should make it in about 13 or so. With a truck full of NFA, I ain't speedin. Barring unknown events I'll be there. Anyone from Tucson or Southern AZ want to hook up let me know. Even you Phoenix boys have to go through here, we could meet and caravan over. IM me or email.

Anyone going from TN? My wife & I would love to go, we could rent a car but a caravan would be great. (We could fly I guess... how do you fly with guns?)

Sumo, flying with guns is not that bad. Have it in a locked case. Check in as luggage. Inform ticket counter that you have a firearm to be checked in. You are limited on ammo though. We are looking into getting an ammo vendor for the event.
As far as caravaning over, that will probably be the best way. Post in the hometown forum to see if you can find folks in the area. |

So far that's the info I'm getting. And that's VERY good news, as I don't have to wait for another form to makes it's way slowly through NFA branch. It'll be great to meet evryone. Spectre, let me know when you'll be hitting town, we can caravan up. |

az_larry, NM has a travelling law much the same as TX does. It is a defense to prosecution.
What I did is to keep a brief case in the front seat. I left it locked but one number away from being opened. That way you can say the gun is in a "locked" case. Now I'm not a lawyer so take that advise as you would any free advise given on the board. |

I would not count on it not being a defense to prosecution when a rookie DPS officer puts the cuffs on you. AZ_larry would not have to worry about that in TX since he has an AZ CCW. We have reciprocity with AZ. He only need to be concerned with NM. |

Yes, of course registration will be open Friday. That is the day of the event [;)]. I was gonna have registration/check in Thurs afternoon for a few hours. Mainly for the few that gets there early.
This will hopefully cut down on the lines for Friday registration/check in. |
