I shamelessly stole this idea from Sootch's 11/16/15 (youtube) video and applied it to us.
Plenty of guys on here buy, sell and trade gear. Most of us have odds and ends we'd like to sell or trade Im sure? I dont know many firearm guys who DONT have a bin full of parts, holsters, snap caps, brass, various ammo..etc
So, for a larger turn out and a nifty idea for a NWFA meet and greet and a potential donation event to NWFA, or perhaps to a cause or orginization like OFF we could hold a swap meet, perhaps charge a very nominal fee for entry
OR
Make it JUST a NWFA swap meet and forego all the donation stuff?
I don't know what legalities are on group meets like this where Im quite sure nearly ALL attendies are packing heat.. And if that would constitute as a "gun show" though NO firearms were being presented openly nor "sold".
Would that appeal to anyone? I of course am just spitballing an idea and am totally open to comments, criticism or correction.. But I think it would be kind of neat. That and it would once again give us an opportunity to meet some of the cool folks we chat with here on the forum putting an ugly mug to the screen name they see often, Or in any AK related thread.. TOO often.
Sure, small gun shows kind of have that going on, but most charge, parking fees are usually common.. So you've spent money even before you've had the chance to trade or sell something.. Often costing you more than if you never went at all and just sold it online.
I think we could also (if made public) have a guest speaker or speakers perhaps going over a easy to learn skill, tip or trick they use in EDC, every day life, camping or shooting.
Perhaps have folks bring up clean ups.. Unless we DONT want to bring attention to that kind if issue due to a potential backfire and then as a result, the closing of lublic shooting areas DUE to the problem we were just trying to stop/help in the first place..
So anyway.. There you have it. What say you?
