SHOT show in Orlando for 2009

[Michiana]

Is anyone going to the SHOT show this coming January? I will be there Thursday and Friday. It is a Disneyworld for gun lovers.

I was about to start this thread.

I hope to be there at some point, probably working the booth (would make sense to take a couple engineers ). Looking to cruise a bit of the show Saturday, hope to check out a few booths outside of our own (I'd really like to check out Glock, FNH/FN-USA and a few others). Will most likely be working an open house for my employer as well that Friday night.

I'd love to go. It would be better than a trip to Disney World for me

Alas, I am no longer in the employ in the "trade", therefore cannot obtain creds to enter. As well, the Make a Wish Foundation is sending my GF's 5 y.o. to Disney in February, so all disposable non-firearm money is to be spent on that.

I'm registered.

I just realized that I have training in Orlando the same week as the show. What a coincidence. Can anyone go or just vendors?

The SHOT SHOW is the largest and most comprehensive marketplace for all professionals serving the shooting sports and hunting industries. For the Trade Only.

I'll be there!

With less than a week left... anyone else going down for the show?

I've always wanted to go to the shot show, but never have.. maybe one year I will.

 

[Michiana]

Me too.

Me too. This is my second one and hope to come back with a lot of good stuff.

I'm gonna drool over all the pictures people post, does that count? Anybody wanna bring me back a Bushmaster ACR?

 

[notasccrmom]

This is only my first rodeo... I'm wondering, how much room should I leave in the suitcase to bring back show paraphernalia?

We are leaving in the morning. Going to hit Sea world on Wed then will be working with Mesa Tactical for most of the rest of the show.
I plan on getting out and seeing as much as I can early on though.

Have FUN, this will be a good week Not to be in Indiana and to be in Sunny Florida

Thank you. I'm thinking the same thing. I just need to get the wife through the flight. She has a major phobia of flying, and now this clown crashes his plane in Florida, as if my job was not hard enough.
I am really looking forward to it as this will be my first trip to a shot show.

It will likely be much cheaper to Priority Mail all the stuff back from the convention center than to pay the luggage weight surcharge.

Last time I had 35+ lbs of stuff, and that was after sorting the crap out.

I'm packing light, but I didn't consider the weight. I'm only checking one bag on the way down and no carry-on. I'm planning on bringing a small empty bag inside my other on the way down. I can carry that on the way back... provided it contains items that are carry-on allowed. I'm leaving Thursday evening, the weather is looking great for the flight out.
