    That would be terrible marketing, "Less effective than a neck-gaiter" :laugh:

    These were brand new with a carrier. No filters but I'm sure they take Russian-made less effective than a neck-gaiter filters.

    That sounds like a great deal. I may have to pick one up. When my boss asks about it, I will use the "can't be less effective than a neck gaiter" line. How can you turn that down?

    Has anyone noticed if there is any ammo to be had? I just want to get enough 9MM to go for a range day. Not trying to be a hoarder or anything. Maybe freshen up my carry ammo.

    Oh there was ammo... saw Tula and Wolf at $28.99/50.

    So, what does the mask situation look like? Is everyone actually wearing them, or is it like most places right now where a third have them hanging around their chin or slung from one ear?

    Are they allowing those with underlying conditions to still attend the show?

    Most people were wearing them. Not all properly, but better than I thought it would be.

    Not all that different than everywhere else that's not a hospital. We have a couple guys with some health issues that make mask-wear a bigger threat. These masks don't restrict air flow like an old M17 gas mask, but health issues are health issues.

    You will see me wearing a mask in the NRA booth. I work in a hospital. I'm wearing it for you, not for me. And no, it's not the cool black and gold mask with "AVON" embroidered on it, that one fogs my glasses :xmad:

    Most ranges will sell you a couple of boxes but call to check before you go.

    I am sad! Brad of Revolver Tactical brought over someone who is now an NRA member. I was out looking for stuff to go with my S&W M1917.

    You are correct, I didn't word that properly. They can be sold at any price, but cannot be advertised for less than $12.30. I frequently see dealers at shows with signs advertising them for $10 or $12. Just saying that it's frustrating when I play by the rules and others don't.


    ABSOLUTELY TRUE! This is why American companies are hard against the wall with China! They manipulate their currency to scam the global economy.

    IE like playing monopoly where the banker gets to use the bank stock while everyone else uses the rules!

    Best way to combat this is to pay a fair price to a reputable vendor like Brian's Surplus.

    Before anyone asks, I have no affiliation with him or his business, but I have browsed his booth at several gun shows. He and his staff are courteous, knowledgeable and professional.

    On my way here this morning I shot Churchmouse A text as I went by his area, I thought he may have noticed a disturbance in the force with a guy who carries a Glock and drives a Civic being nearby.:laugh:

    HKIndiana from A&A Militaria hooked me up with some custom dog tags, even delivered them over here to this booth. OK his wife actually made them, but he did deliver them. I learned something today, Lynyrd Skynyrd Baptist Will not actually fit on dog tags.

    This morning I met Susan Smith, she is running against Andre Carson for the seventh congressional district. Very impressive! We all wished her the best of luck.
