    I'm not sure if we'll be making every one, but when we do we'll be doing the usual breakfast at the usual location (IHOP) on the usual day (Saturday) at the usual time (8am) if anyone wants to join the usual crowd!

    Five bucks to get in, a couple of bucks to park. The smart thing to do is to come out for breakfast and then walk over afterward.

    Cheers! M2

    I'll be going Saturday looking for a decent AR-15 deal. Not expecting dirt cheap but hopefully competitive pricing.

    Not sure yet. Trying to get a guy from work to go as well, so I'll see what his schedule is.

    Pretty sure I'll be heading there on Sunday. Have plans tomorrow and will be looking to kill a lot of time Sunday until the game. (I'm a Seahawks fan)

    Hey how are these with kids? I have a feeling the wife will want us all to go.

    What age kids? Babies in strollers, youngsters who haven't been walking long, or double-digits that won't get under foot?

    I have to admit, the aisles are narrow at this show and people who bring strollers tend to clog things up quite a bit. Really young kids might be an issue, I've seen some grab and try to pick up guns off tables to the vendor's horror; but if you're kids are old enough to do what they're told (no touching) and don't run around all over the place like they're on fire, they'll be fine.

    By the way, I don't even let my 16-yr-old son touch any guns at the show. If there is something he wants to handle, he asks.

    Cheers! M2

    Good info, thanks!! My kids are 10 and 4. They keep to themselves if told. We'll see about that.

    Ok. AR budget is 1k-ish. MP15 tactical is $969. The DD and Colts are another 350 to 400. Don't know if I can justify the extra price for a range / home defense gun. Thoughts?

    $3 for parking and $5 for admission. Not bad for a couple hours but nothing earth shattering today.
