Before I make a decision, I am still waiting to read about the new set of written rules/guidelines issued by Park & Planning or Park Police for the show.

where did you get your information on this?

 

[Mr H]

There is another thread for the show which suggested as much.

Edit: I see you found it...

I wouldn't be shocked to see some ridiculous restrictions on what can be sold.

Until I see something in writing, I'm a bit sceptical.
Let's not torpedo the show just yet.

Just received a call from the promoter...
Show is going to be a one day only show and there will be NO live ammo.
This sucks. We need to have a strong showing at this show to show people that no matter how they try to make it hard for us that we will prevail.
Just remember .. "It's the hard that makes it great!"

 

[Mr H]

Knew there'd be something stupid.

But, we all know how guns and ammo conspire when no one is watching...

Like I said in the other PG thread, there will be something going down that many people won't like. And as George Peppard exclaimed immediately after cutting the insignia from the enemy's plane the he shot down over his own airfield, "CONFIRMED!!!".

 

[Mr H]

Just waiting for the claim that fewer guns are being sold, and especially for which lame assed rationale they'll use...

i'm sure some vendors will show up.

 

[Mr H]

I make no judgment at this point, but the question once again could be raised...

Will attending prove we are willing to capitulate, or that we truly support?

Will not attending show we are cowed, or be seen as a protest?

I don't know... but whatever action folks choose, I would lean toward saying a letter to MNCPPC and legislators would be in order, regardless.

I will say (and I said it before), that I feel it's a game that the MNCPPC (as proxy for the PG delegation, no doubt) are trying to play, to further their wish to restrict sales.

If this makes the national news will MD be the laughing stock of the nation?
If it works would this be a possibility for another executive / administrative order?
I'll volunteer to go and report if no one else goes lol.

Im going out to the Bowie Walmart for ammo today. Funny stuff.

 

[Blue Fins]

We'll be there, no ammo, plenty of guns AND a smile.

Keeping things on the lighter side...and a point to ponder.... I wonder if they (PGC) actually thought about having a gun show without guns. We could all show up and just swap money. lol

 

[Mcornbro]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen

 

[platoonDaddy]

Will attending prove we are willing to capitulate, or that we truly support?

Will not attending show we are cowed, or be seen as a protest?

I refuse to attend under those guidelines, therefore it is a protest of 'one'

 

[lee2]

i plan to be there to rub the liberals noses in it.

AAR?

 

[Millertime]

Hopefully they don't consider reloading supplies "live ammo".
Can we turn the tables on this Ammo-free show? It could be the Free-Ammo show.
How about all the vendors put up a big sign at each table:
FREE AMMO WITH EVERY GUN PURCHASE!
Just a small nose rubbing. Buyers can pick it up at the store. THAT would give the reporters something to write about.
