53rd Annual Wells Gun Traders Show

[XDM45]

The way it stands today, the show will be posted at the door due to the rash of "accidents" at gun shows this year.
No loaded firearms in the building.

So you can carry,m just not loaded.
If you have a loaded gun (who would go around with an empty one?), just lock it in your car properly and securely according to the law.

Correct?

"rash" 5 issues, largely avoidable if you stop the extra administrative handling and LEAVE THE GUN IN THE HOLSTER ...

Just a random idea.... but for anyone who is looking for a very specific item such as myself, I'd be willing to partner up with people to help them in their search if they help me in mine. In other words, let's say you are looking for X and I am looking for Y, we both look for X and Y, letting the other person know if we find what they are looking for. It's a good way to get more eyes around the show all at once, assuming people are there at the same time and looking for certain things.

For me, I'm looking for a Springfield XDs which comes with 2 grips and 2 5-round magazines, but I'm also looking for 2 of the 7-round magazines since it provides a larger grip space. How about you? (Obviously if two or more people are looking for the exact same thing, this idea won't work in that instance unless they find more than one of the specific item.)

Just a thought, but I'm willing to look out for other people's specific gun wants if they will look out for mine. Maybe working together, we can all get what we want.

Anyone interested?

So you CAN carry at the show? I see they allow guns on-site as an exception during a gun show via http://www.usc.k12.mn.us/school164/geni ... policy.pdf but what about state law which bans guns on school property? I just want to avoid any hassles, yet don't really want to go unarmed either.

Well, that settles that. Looks good to me. Thanks.
