if i can't handle the guns with greasy french fry or cheesy nacho fingers, dry fire them repeatedly, and randomly point them at people yelling "bang!" without getting hassled then i think you guys are just being uptight with all your "rules."Quote:

I think I'll just put a bunch of watermelons on mine next time-Invite Gallagher and get it over with. There needs to be more room for stun-gun and Scentsy vendors anyway. [Bang] [Tooth]Quote:

Those folks will get a lesson on firearms safety very quickly and at no charge.
Each to their Own and know your surroundings.
Touching leaves germs plus unless one plans on purchasing a firearm at some shows it may not be wise to leave ones fingerprints for the next person who just may purchase the firearm.
Totally agree. I had a guy pickup a $1000 handgun last weekend...and start dry firing it. Never having asked me if he could touch it. He was an idiot....who obviously did not have the means to purchase the gun. Nor any intent to. He just wanted to play with. He got an earful.Quote:

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PROMOTERS SHOULD GIVE EVERY CUSTOMER A HANDOUT ON "How to Enjoy the Gunshow". Explaining the basic customs-do's and don'ts......some people just don't know.
Great idea but getting anyone to actually read and comprehend what the hell they have just read would be require a major effort. A great number of attendees feel that for their $8 or $10 they paid to gain admission entitles them to man handle all the stuff that catches their eye.Quote:

If you don't own it then you better have permission before you touch it is how I was raised.
My son-in-law taught my twin grandsons the right way to conduct themselves at gun shows and various other stores (while they were still youngsters)....
"Look all you want to but KEEP YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS"
And they were watch closely to make certain they complied with those instructions.
Now one of those guys is in the U.S. Army and is thoroughly enjoying the firing range. That twin is currently stationed in Hawaii and probably enjoying some sandy beach while we have snow heading our way.[Tooth]
Wish everyone would do that.Quote:
