O.D. Refire, SASS#21066 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I will be attending the show for the first time. Anything that I shouldn't miss. It will be like a fat kid in a candy store!
Mosey West Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Do you have to have an FFL to attend this or can anyone get in? Mosey West
JD Trampas, SASS # 55781 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I thought about it several years ago, did some searching and found out it is for dealers only, just can't walk in, unless you have a friend that has a FFL and going there, then you might be able to under his FFL by working for him, otherwise it is for dealers only which is a shame, can't remember where I found this info either All for now JD Trampas
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Yep - my wife and I will be going this year!
Lefty Bob1 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I attended last year and am planning on going in 2011. Wear comfortable shoes!! Check the web site and plan what you want to see. Speaking from last year if you start to "wander" you will loose a lot of time. About 25/30% of the show is related to police and security gear. I chose to skip right past these areas, if I did not my 2.5 days at the show would have not have allowed enough time. If you are driving to the show be sure to note where you park, don't ask why!!! One last thing to watch out for, folks somewhere borrowed or rented pull behind "carts" that looked like a milk crate with small wheels and a handle. These darn things are easy to trip over. Enjoy yourself, Lefty Bob

Chisler Wood Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Having to have an FFL to attend is a myth...That is only ONE way can get in......It's called The Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show.........Outdoor trade could mean anything from hunting clothes, boots, apparell, camping gear, home furnishings etc......It's not just guns... I've been many times..My family buisness sells outdoor clothing, hunting knives, etc etc..Many of the vendors that we do buisness with have booths there...We were clients way before they showed up at SHOT ...You need a buisness licences and possibly a tax id.......It's no different from any other trade show....We've always signed up online and recieve our badges in the mail.... Bring comfortable shoes, something to eat and drink (the food is pretty expensive), and a rolling cart to carry all the pamplets/flyers....You will be suprised at the amount of stuff you will come home with...

Sixgun Shorty, SASS #35717 Life Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I'll be there..Flying in to Vegas on Tuesday at 9AM, staying Tuesday and Wednesday at Treasure Island, flying back to Reno Thursday at Noon. It's a great show, but it is total sensory overload. 2 full days there and I am well done!( I do have an SOT/FFL)
Kid Shane, SASS #40660 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Sixgun Shorty is right, its total sensory overload. More than you can see in a month. I am going to try and go with Sixgun Shorty as its a blast to see such a candy store.
O.D. Refire, SASS#21066 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Posted November 29, 2010 Can't wait!!! It's gonna be a reunion with a certain "cast".
Nellie Blue #54399 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 If you have an iPhone, they have an ap to help with planning your time there. You pick the exhibitors you want to visit and it'll map them out for you. I did a search for "Shot Show" in the ap store. Fast and free. You just need your confirmation number and zip code to access it. I only get to attend one day so I needed all the help I could get. . Clem, hope to accidentally run onto ya!
Prof. Fuller Bullspit Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Please somebody go look at the Merwin Hulberts! If I remember correctly they are scheduled to be at the Shot Show with production guns. Some photos and a report would be very welcome.
