Midland Gun Show - Michigan

MG,
Yah, I looked for someone with a blue baseball cap but there were too many of them around. I went through the show twice with my Michigan State sweatshirt hoping that you would see me. I needed an excuse to buy another Brat.

unspellable,
normally, gun shows in Michigan and Ohio are pretty relaxed too. But at this show they had a lot of rookie cops out there. A lot of trainees. I talked to one experienced dealer and he was happy that they were there. This particular show has a lot of exits and a lot of people coming and going. So he liked the idea that they were all covered by cops to prevent theft.

At the Ohio Gun Collectors Assn, the police start out being business like and end the day being real nice guys that you can joke with. But the OGCA shows are six times a year so the police may be more used to gun people than the Midland police who only cover one show a year.
