Looks good!

I need to get there to see the guy with the S&W

but I'm stuck here watching midgets; and I'm not allowed to throw them in the trunk and take them to the gunshow (because "all guns are inherently dangerous and evil," which is why my collection goes out at night and rapes the helpless)

Yeah, Fernie, Brett and Myself were stop by a guy(Older Guy) when we were leaving. He was putting on his belt-n-canteen. "Where are the reenactors :mrgreen:

". He stop to check out our gear. "Ok who has a front seam, swivel bail helmet?" We show him our helmets and he was impressed. We told him where the CHG booth was, he thanked us and went on his way.

We ran into a lot of vets who, look at us a "Living Conversational Pieces", it always leads to a conversation. One guy was talking about Mayo's Marine Cap, Another Guy about the M1 not being using the in the Pacific, another Guys trying to sell German items as orginals, a finally a Vet who was showing Tim and Russell some Japanese Paper Item. There was also a Korean War Vet who just smile to see the gear and weapons.

The funny think was, when we left the Show, I notice the sign that said "No Cameras" :shock:

I did too. I think thats mainly meant for not snapping pics of the vendor's tables. I've always noticed this at shows, swap meets, flea markets, they don't like people taking pictures of the fare for sale. I really have clue why...

Oh well... Camera phone to the rescue!

I ended up going, saw junk; danced funny in IJA stuff... Even talked to Mr. Keep; who had info on some launchers for me.

The camera ban was a result of the old Great Western days where lobbyist would come to the show, take pictures of the tables then use them to push legistlation to ban guns and gun sales.

There were other reasons, but that was one of the more serious.
