The Hickory Gun Show is this weekend at the Hickory Metro Convention Center. Historically, this has been the best small-market show around. We will be there in the back room, as always.

Who else is going?
 
On the fence.
 
Since I am meeting a member Saturday morning up that direction I may ride on up.

Have the address?
 
1960 13th Avenue Dr SE
Hickory, NC 28602
 
Can you carry at this event? Doesnā€™t look like it from their website but Iā€™m not sure. Says no loaded firearms so does that include my carry weapon thatā€™s concealed?

You canā€™t take a loaded firearm into any gun show. No promoter allows it due to their insurance requirements. Some of the venues are posted against carry, too.

I clear the gun and leave the loaded magazine in the car. At the event door, someone will zip tie the action (and usually ask whether Iā€™m carrying any magazines; acting surprised when I say no). Iā€™d rather have someone steal my loaded magazine out of my car than my loaded gun.
 
Well, I guess count me out. Donā€™t want to support events where they refuse your 2a rights. [emoji16]

Never been to a gun show. Maybe Iā€™ll take my daughter rifle shopping.

Yeah a few years ago the zip-tie thing got someone shot at this show (an LEO no less). And each year for the previous two years before that someone shot the roof (once the power even went out). It's an excitin' one lemme tell ya!

I'm glad they take all these measures to protect us from the dangerous concealed carriers.

I hand over my gun with the action open. ;)
 
Is there a Ruthā€™s Chris Steakhouse open for breakfast in Hickory? :p

@BlackGun is from there surely he knows a great place
My preference would be a tofu and bean sprout egg white omelette served by a pigtail haired, peace sign wearing teenage girl in a peasant blouse and sandals. :)

I suggest IHOP which is three minutes from the gun show.

2415 US Hwy 70 SE, Hickory, NC 28602. Thereā€™s only been one murder there recently.
Hope we can still say that after our breakfast. :confused:
 
1 hr 20 min from yer place, Jeppo.
Breakfast at 0800?
I'll be at your house by 0630.
Okie Dokie. We be talkinā€™ tomorrow, right?
 
Think of me, stuck in China, while you soak in all that freedom. Ha!
In your honor, weā€™ll stop at Panda Express on the way home. :D
 
But I'm up for it if you are. And get the stuff from you at IHOP ?

@LeeMajors knows me.
@MacEntyre will have tired of sitting with me in the car.
@BlackGun, youā€™ll recognize me by my ā€œIā€™m carrying a concealed firearm, shoot me firstā€ hoodie.

;)
 
I'm going to walk around a little and do my best to distract cubrock from actually doing business while I linger at his table. Say howdy if you see the guy that looks like he was kicked out of thrash metal band for being too ugly.
