2015 SOS gathering

[sheepherder]

I was reading Ron from MN's 7-page thread over on the P38 forum yesterday on the Louisville shows and he mentioned many pictures taken...Do they allow picture taking at those two shows???

Here in NYS, at my end at least, picture taking at the gun shows is not allowed. I have no idea why (maybe flashes are disruptive?) but them's the rules. I was asked if my smartphone had picture taking capability at the door (even though I'm a member) and I just said "It's a BlackBerry" and was allowed to proceed...

Lew (or Charlie, or John, whatever) I don't recall mentioning anyone except Ed and Dwight, and them only from the Rogues Gallery pics. In fact, I don't ever recall seeing your posts anywhere here in the five years I've been a member...I'm guessing your Luger interests are wildly different from mine and we've never posted in the same thread...

...Until this one...

Sorry, but I saw my name in the email of your post. You said, in the following order: "Dwight, Ed, and Lew...."

Sorry.

I guess, with only a 1000 posts, 55 lugers in my collection, and being around for more than 6+ years, I am a newbie.

I have seen your threads, but then I pay attention to what is posted, and as a part of such, I get names correct.

I might have addressed the post to 'Lew' (it's what I thought your name was) but I only thought I recognized Ed, Dwight, and the Air Force sweatshirt guy...Whose name I don't know...From the old pics in the Rogues Gallery...

I really don't know anyone here personally, only from posts. Not much collector activity in my area. IthacaDave and Curly1 are the closest, and they're 5+ hours drive away.

So, in the spirit of friendship, "Hello Charlie!"

Our shows are mostly parts and clothing sales, rarely does anyone bring a 'collection' of anything to display. They used to, but something changed. Turkey calls, duck decoys, surplus BDUs, knives of all kinds, and truckloads of AR-15/M16 parts fill the tables now.

Maybe some day I'll show up at a large gun show.
