Just a reminder about the Show of Shows in Louisville in a couple of weeks. It will be my first and I'm looking forward to meeting many of you.
http://www.sosovms.com/Show_of_Shows/ I'm planning to bring as much (hopefully) interesting trade bait as I can cram into my carry-on.

I have a table, Dwight Gruber and Lyn Islaub will be at our table, then we'll join up with others and visit too. I plan on bringing some extra chairs, so we might be crowded but we'll be glad to share chair space, table space is used all up

Ed, will the table be in your name? (To find you in the program/map.)

Same here! I also had the chance to meet Vlim and George Anderson from the forum, but regret not meeting you. Although I am sure we passed each other making our laps up and down the aisles. Geez, I think I must have walked 50 miles by the end of the day. Well, OK, maybe four miles.
![]() I was also pleased to meet Charlie Justmann ("Checkpoint Charlie"), from whom I purchased a gun last year.

Must have been another Vlim or I got the names of all the folks I met messed up. OK, probably the later. Then again, maybe I was wishfully thinking I'd get a chance to meet you.

Great show and really good to meet a lot of guys that I've "known" on the boards.
I fit right in with the old, ugly, and fat luger group! Sold 2, bought 3- so "they" are still gaining on me! ![]()

The men, the myths, the legends......Huey and Dewey signing their book I bought from them. Having recently acquired a Weimar police reworked pistol I wanted to spend some time learning more about them. This book will get me on my journey.

curious, just went to a local gun show yesterday and as you entered big sign, NO PHOTOS.
This is the case at most shows here in Florida and it has been years since I attended one in a different state. No problem with this show ? |

NO, there are signs and warnings at SOS against taking photos I tried not to take pictures of people - which I am sure is a privacy issue and the reason for the signs and warnings. BTW - privacy law has stated that 'public' areas are fairly exempt from your picture being taken, however, being a çlosed event, I am sure that they could raise hell on pictures being public, so please use any photos from this thread as being considered private use only...
