FYI.... No CW at this one. Walked up to the door today and had to go back and lock it up in the car.

Yeah, I was a bit ticked-off when I saw the signs this morning.  The organizers of the show used the excuse that their liability insurance required it.  I don't buy it.   ::)

The reasons behind the no-gun signs was told to me by one of their members(who wanted to join NFOA) that was collecting admission fees, not Ms. Moody.

This was probably the worst Lincoln gun show I've ever seen.  I think it was half its normal size, and probably a quarter of the normal attendees.  When they used to have it at the state fairgrounds it would be packed full of tables and shoulder to shoulder with people.

Well, we appreciate your help today anyway guys.   :)
It seems the gun show attendance is waning a little bit lately, gun and ammo sales are slowing quite a lot.

Hopefully the Hastings show will be a bit busier, I'll be out there this weekend. 
If anyone else will be out there and would like to help recruit new members, please let me know.  http://www.nebraskafirepower.com/forum/index.php?topic=1175.0

Well part of the slow down is there is a huge saturation of alot of the guns out there right now and more than a couple people most likely over extended to get what they wanted. Now that they did that there will be a lull for awhile while bills are covered for the spending that was done.


Rick it was good to meet you, wish I had been able to get there a touch earlier to meet some of the others that had left before I got there.

Well, don't get me wrong....I still had a good time.  A day at a gunshow with NFOA members still beats the heck out of painting the basement, which is what I had to do when I got home :(

I did a little informal recruiting at the Nebraska Territorial Rangers (cowboy action) Annual match this weekend, including my pard that ran against Brenda Council in the last election...

59 isn't bad for how poor the attendance was.  Every bit helps.
