The Ides of March are almost upon us!
The Big Reno is but two months out, lets finally meet
and I can apologize to your face for correcting your spelling:neener:
How about a BBQ? or at least coffee and donuts?

I plan to be there.  An APS meeting surely is in order.

I've been wanting to go to that gun show for years (especially since local gun shows suck so bad nowadays). If there's gonna be an APS convention, maybe this is the year I get off my ass and pull the trigger.

If there are more "interested" posts, I'll sticky this thread.

it usually is a great show, last time I went there was great deals on lowers of all kinds.
Gun shows are extremely important to support because we can reach the gun owners who don't use computers.
The real reason they attack gunshows isn't sales to criminals, it is the peaceful assembly of gun owners and the political power they represent that scares them.

Judging by the ridiculous prices the sellers at the last one wanted for things, that's the only market they'll get.

People who can go online are going to know that a RIA 1911 is not a "show special!" at $499, and that a Yugo SKS should not be $400.

I 100% agree for the usual local shows. Though I've never been, the Reno show is supposed to be a completely different beast with tons of cool stuff and good deals.

Since I'm sure the CA DOJ will have a large undercover presence, I think I'll pass.
