Table at Lincoln Gun Show
« on: January 09, 2013, 12:21:23 PM »
The Lincoln Izaak Walton League and the NFOA will have a table at the gun show on the 26th and 27th.  Wildgoose and I will be there recruiting members for both organizations, but any help would be appreciated.  If anyone wants to work (especially people who are members of both organizations) let me know and I will put your name on the list so you can get an exhibitor pass. I'm going to send in the order for the table in the next day or so.

This is a great opportunity to reach out to all of those people who just bought their first gun in the last few weeks.  We need all the help we can get in the fight that's coming.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

By next door do you mean next to me at the table, or over at the horse barn?  ;D

I forgot about that.

So far I have GSD and Dan.  More are welcome if anyone wants to help - I'll send in the order form for the table on Friday.  I'm not sure how many passes we're allowed but I would guess a few more would be ok.

I just don't understand why anyone would rather go hang out with a bunch of women than Ray and I.  We're a couple of pretty good looking dudes, IMHO.

I will be there bright and early saturday morning. 

After I buy up all the good deals before ya'll do, I'll stop by the table and work it for a while you kids can grab a bite for lunch.

Perhaps I'll need to bring an old Marlin Model 80 along to distract the competition...   :laugh:

so whats the plan here? what time do we need to show up, etc? do we just give our names at the door?

Also, mind if I bring a rifle to sell? (provided it doesn't sell before then)

I'm still waiting on the packet from the show organizer.  If I don't get it tomorrow I'll follow up with them.  I think (not sure) they'll give us door passes, but  I gave them the name of everyone who volunteered.  I'm sure bringing a rifle is fine.

If you guys want to just post here what times you're available to work we'll sort it out.  Wildgoose and I are free pretty much all weekend to cover whenever other people can't.
