Formal correspondence to make sure the promoters know about this is a good idea. But that's not a big community and I sincerely hope that every promoter out there has already heard about this.
Tejas deserves to be blackballed out of those 40 gun shows a year that he claims online.
Appreciate this pointer. I just emailed (bigtexgunshow@gmail.com) and gave a ring to the event promotors - as I said the event staff was professional and I was surprised by how willing to see it objectively (or from my side) they were instead of siding by default with the vendor. Good moral character there.Once you have filed a police report as Ben recommended, I would contact Big Tex Gun Shows and also share your story (and the police report) with them.
I am not familiar with Big Tex, but every gun show promoter I know would want to know about such actions taking place during their events!
I'm pleasantly surprised with how many of y'all have posted, and apparently my email was not the first one Big Tex Gun Shows got today. Appreciated in a big way!
Fwiw I believe that shop is closed as Tejas Gun Shop is doing primarily gun show sales. FFL finder says he's still out of Bartlett though.Closer than that for me, maybe I should go in wearing my TGT shirt and ask him if he knows he harassed a member of a forum with 33k members.
Its 16 minutes from my house, maybe a group of us should go.
I've got my high school wrestling coach's voice in my head telling me the team sorts the team issues out, but I'm going to see first what happens through the gun show channel. If Mr. Lyon becomes persona non grata at gun shows due to his belligerent and factually incorrect behavior that's a win. Sounds like Big Tex has gotten at least a couple emails already, and would appreciate some more to help them build the case that this guy's got to go.Andrew,
I like Ben's approach.
Not reporting allows this nutter to keep on attempting to steal guns and maybe HAS been successful in the past...
Your first post would likely suffice as a report.
