Default Calgary Gun Show Who's Going?

I will be going Friday in the AM just wondering who might be around other than me and Old Dog.

I'll be there Friday evening if not Saturday, just look for the fella wearing his newborn son on his chest in a baby harness. The Mrs may or may not be joining us.

I too believe the show is Friday and Saturday only. Thursday seems to be an option for those who have tables of their own, 'insider' early bird special as it is. Sunday I'm quite sure is a no-go, I've made that mistake there previously, and missed out. I've also made the mistake of thinking it would be open until 8-9pm as most events tend to be there, but then rushing as 5 or 6 pm approached and the show was wrapping up. Its been explained to me they close this early so many exhibitors can pack up and get home in time for Easter, as many have travelled from some distance away. This year I won't be quite so naive.

http://www.calgarygunshow.com/shows.html

Their website has the dates, but not the times, at least that I've been able to find. For those not in the know, its at the Roundup Centre, which is an exhibition hall located on the Stampede grounds. See you there!

Sometimes I'm tempted to get a table so I can actually get in on the real deals.

Yup,
I am sure I will head down as well. Not sure when, may just depend on if/when we have showings booked for our up-for-sale house. I will be a guy wearing a camo ahiea hat with my 2 sons, 5 and 7. I am sure at least one, prob both will be decked out in camo.

Saturday morning for us. Going for the 'experience' more than too buy something, there isn't usually much of anything for us southpaws at the shows. Besides, I've got most of my gun money tied up in projects/customs.

I do think I'll extend my CSSA membership though........

Should be fun.

The Godless Good Friday Gunshow....would'nt miss it.

Never buy anything, but it is fun just to wander about, look at the stuff and listen to the chatter.

May have to look at custom guys to see what can be done to spruce up the old Marlin 917.

Enjoy
