I didn't see any firearms sales. There could have been I just never noticed.
Re: Monroeville Convention Center
Got some maybe good news on this subject last evening. Apparently the local (Monroeville) community development organizations are not taking this well. It seems agreements were made by the current owners of the Convention Center to said community development organizations and this attempted sale violates quite a number of them. Legal actions are pending to include injunctions and a possible invocation of an eminent domain clause in the original agreement. Let us hope this transpires and the convention center remains a viable venue. There are millions of dollars of revenue that are generated in the community by the events held at this venue. Not just for the gun show, but for all the dozens of other events held there.
Re: Monroeville Convention Center
I'm all for following whatever is spelled out in any legal agreements, but people are freaking out and acting like "Monroeville" has to "STOP THIS".
Monroeville doesn't own the property and the owners can say "piss off" if they want - provided they are playing by what they agreed to.
I guess we shall see.

My wife and I went all three days, I did not see any firearms sales either. We did attend several of the classes and test fired a couple of guns in the mobile range. Pretty good event in all!

My son and I enjoyed it. He won a raffle for a Sig P365.
