Monroeville Gun Show... Dec11,12

[bige64]

For the past 10 years I've either had money but there was no show, or there was a show and I had no money. This weekend the gods have smiled upon me. Is California carry accepted there? Empty gun, mag on the side.

On my vendor mailings that the gunshow promoter sends me this is the only firearm rule that I can find "NO LOADED FIREARMS--NO EXCEPTIONS!"

So I assume your CA carry would be ok...

I'm almost positive you'd be allowed to CA carry it. In the past when I was trying to find a case for a particular gun, I brought it with me and (once they put the zip-tie in) I just carried it around with me to test fit cases.

I've talked with the individuals that put it on, CA carry is ok if i'm understanding them correctly, however the only individuals allowed loaded are uniformed police.

I've been there once. The uniformed officer took my magazine, placed it in a ziplock bag with a number on it and gave me a card with the corresponding number. he then ziptied my gun.

The major problem I had was that they had no place to clear my firearm. He wanted me to just go outside and clear it.

The last time I was at the Pittsburgh Mills show they had a place to clear your gun, although it was across the foyer from where you paid to get in. No signs outside or where you paid. I did not see it till I was leaving. Whoops.

Update on size / aisle size of show:

Very big aisles... biggest I've ever seen for a show. 10-12ft aisles some bigger in other areas.

From what I saw they place is booked full of tables. I was there setting up around 3-4ish and about 1/2 the tables were setup then.

Big place, not sure how else to describe it if you've never been there. For a comparison its probably about 3/4 the size of washington county gunshow. Heated quite nicely

Hope to see some of you there,

Any reports from the show?

A lot of empty tables. Patron turnout seemed normal, but there was a lot of parking still available at 9am. Beyond that, and I'm no gun show quality judging expert, it seemed like a lot of the same stuff as always.

I had a great time.Got a few items I needed,stopped by Bige64's table to say hello.Great lunch afterward with my buddy.A win/win show for me at least.tom.

I went for a little later on this afternoon. Seemed busier than usual, but the vendor turn-out seemed a bit smaller than the last one. Probably because of the other shows that were going on this weekend. I found Bige64's table, but he must have went to grab something to eat, so I took a card.
