Re: Mogantown August 8th & 9th?
I assume the "prize drawing" at the entrance was essentially a scam to get your phone number and email? I've seen them set up at the Oaks shows as well, and I tossed out those tickets too.

Yup. Back in the day it was just junk mail. Then it became junk faxes and phone calls. Then they commenced to email. Give 'em your 'mobile' number or social media info and it'll hit you there too.
In the immortal words of Burt Bacharach... walk on by.

I'm sure there's other ways for the authorities to determine who was an wasn't at a gun show but I'm sure not going to help them by giving them my info in a database!
Re: Mogantown August 8th & 9th?
With oaks cancelled I was thinking about going to the one here the end of the month. Was there gun parts like i see at Oaks? Need an upper and BCG to finish my most recent AR build and looking for some glock parts. Did they have any Polymer80 glock builders?

Tony's Custom Uppers should be there and able to supply your build needs. Not sure about the 80% vendors.
