Question? Gun Show etiquette

[BlasterBob]

Correct me it I'm out of line here...........but if we could find a way to "filter out"....the Morons....who either date.....or are the parents of people like this.......the problems would decrease significantly.

Sterilization?

Who defines the moron's of society.
WAY OT: With that being said anyone one welfare who has more than 1 child and been on welfare since they were a kid, should seek some form of permanent birth control.

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.

But how many of the unwashed masses would not only be able read but also comprehend what was written ?

Ops, didn't read BB's post before I posted........

Sterilization?

No, the question is. More regulation?

Making it simple.
This is what I would do.


Sign... No handling
No sign.... Handle
Sign, didn't see it .... Apology
No sign and vendor b1tch.... Apology then, tell them to put a g-damn sign.

I fall into that "younger crowd" I believe (27) and whenever I have gone to any gun show I always ask before handling anything. After I am granted permission I will check the action if it is closed and once its open I will still hold on and release it very slowly. I've never had an issue with any owner doing that. They tend to watch me like a hawk since I still have that baby face.

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.

Wish everyone would do that.
