The spring Grand Island show is June 26th and 27th at Fonner Park. I will have a table there for the NFOA to sign up members and sell tshirts. Anyone who can help, you will get in free if you man the table for a while.

Sorry, bud.   :(

Turnout was exceptionally poor, but 19 new NFOA members were signed up thanks to help from a couple of guys getting in a few faces, thanks guys. Got a pleasant and unexpected suprise from GunScribe, who showed up today, great to see you again Tim. Dutch showed up to help, but to be honest, the crowd was so poor I won't go back if the show is held this late in the season. It was so hot yesterday, some people left the show after only after a few minutes.

I picked up a Kahr K9 and an ISSC M22 (the Austrian made copy of a glock in 22lr made by Austrian Sporting Arms.) that I had to try out last night when I got home. If you guys with small hands haven't tried a Kahr pistol, you don't know what you are missing. The ISSC had a couple fail to feeds in the first and only mag I put through it, and the slide failed to shut all the way on a round, I hope it gets better after break in, I think it could be a very fun gun to shoot.

The GI gunshow died when they moved it into 100 degree summer with no AC. A venue other than Fonner Park is needed.

I agree, the city and Fonner don't seem to want the show there at all.
