Handling guns..politeness?

The families come to the shows to savor the beef jerky and buy the knife sharpeners.

We're seeing about 15-20% non-firearms/knife oriented vendors at our shows in North Carolina now.

The ones that try and navigate the overcrowded aisles with children in baby carriages frankly amaze me almost as much as the conversations attached to the floor in the middle of the most crowded aisles.

Most vendors here with collectible firearms have glass cases now. It prevents much of the handling and abuse...

And yes, Bill, I don't hesitate to hand a friend gloves before giving them a collectible firearm. I've actually been buying the thicker string gloves (used by many construction workers) for casual handling.
