How many are going to the Portland gun show this weekend??

"Feel free to say hello. I will be the large, bearded tattooed guy selling honey, candles and lotion."

I heard some joke about a big guy and his lotion can't remember it though.

 

[Bon Sauvage]

I reckon I'll be there tomorrow. I haven't been there in quite a spell.

 

[DinhRose]

Well someone please let me know if they see any beretta 92fs inox/stainless. I would love to go but i am way too busy this weekend.

 

[pokerace]

I went I saw, I left.

Good show but cost to much. Lot of tac cool A lot of guns but no ammo, and that is what I was looking for..Only 3 dealers and the didn't have what I needed...

 

[sed]

Wanted to go today, but wasn't able to make it.
Pokerace - you mention show was light on ammo. Did you (or anyone else) see any good deals on brass cased .223/5.56?

 

[FarmerTed1971]

Lot of people streaming in at 2pm today. I hope the dealers did well.

I went, saw and bought VERY little....not much to offer this month, hope next month is better.

*VERY* light on ammo this time around. I did get a decent-but-nothing-to-write-home-about deal on 7.62x39, and got an SKS 75-round drum for about 2/3 the normal price, though.

Good to meet you in person, kodiak.

OMG there is such a thing.

Yeah, we got that reaction a lot. The most common reactions were:
1. Look at banner. Look away. Stop. Look at banner again. Chuckle and walk away.
2. Look at banner. Look away. Stop. Look at banner again. Get confused expression and walk away.
3. Look at banner, look at T-shirts at the next table over (anti-Obama,) look back at banner, make comment about us being next to each other. I got along great with Rick, he was very nice and thought the placement was funny, too. (Even though they were anti-Obama, because I liked him, I'll go ahead and post his website here: <broken link removed> He had a bad weekend, which was too bad, because he was donating 15% to the Ft. Lewis Army Emergency Relief Fund. I kicked in some to go to the fund, it's a great organization.)

Talked to quite a few people. Only two made actual negative remarks (one long rant, one short swearing comment.) Well, plus a friend of the other gentleman manning the table continuing a long-running disagreement, but that was directed at him, not at our group in general. Had quite a few Democrats present who were happy to see that there is an official Gun Owners Caucus and signed up. (Power in numbers! The more the party leadership knows there are a lot of us out there, the more likely they are to realize that they DO need to continue supporting gun rights.)

Yes, honey or a bee's wax candle and possibly a lip balm or body butter is the perfect distraction for coming home with a new firearm.



See ya this weekend

Do you wear them all at the same time?

tac, puzzled

 

[suprised]

What are the Dec. weekend dates?

 

[Bigd6943]

I need to get my Ak47 worked on. Will there be someone to there able to do it?

 

[k7grc]

Found some 25-20 brass, and a 1950 Winchester Model 70 .257 Roberts on Keiths used rifle table(under 600$) : ).
