My want list has sure grown. I had a blast looking at all the new toys. Got to talk to the person responsible for getting me hooked on Moon clip guns Jerry Miculek and then I was able to bug Jay for awhile at the GunBroker booth it was really crowded Friday so I imagine Sat was really bad

    We got there opening on Friday and it didn't get busy till noon, then it was really crowded! I had never been to one of these and my bucket list is shortened by one. I had a blast, wandered around like a kid in a candy store, really expensive candy but so fun. Met the gov of LA but really wanted to meet Sarah but she wasn't among the crowd. Tried to get the two Asian gals with the violins to play some Zepplin but no luck. I picked up some T-shirts and hats as well as lots of contacts for future purchases. Nine dollars for a sandwich? Oh well, it was huge and filling. Parking was reasonable and not too far away so that was a surprise. All in all, it was fun, glad it was close to my home, next year in Nashville, probably not.

    Just back. We had a good time. Certainly lots to see.

    Also bugged Jay. And picked up a GB can koozie.

    Wanted to have my wife try the slides on the beretta nano, colt mustang, sig p290 and p238. She liked the sigs best. The others were too stiff for her to rack comfortably.

    Glad we went!

    my son and I went Saturday , made a fast trip thru looked at a lot of new toys . to do it right would take a couple days at least, a lot of big names at there booths or wondering around , picked up a few free goodies. I felt like a kid in a candy store that's for sure , went by the GB booth several other people there talking with Jay so I did not interrupt however a very nice looking young lady talked with me for a couple minutes at the booth I did pick up a GB shopping bag for the wife ( thanks guys and gals ) I am not one to wait in line so I did not spend any time in one place long enough to
    get acquainted. I am not star struck type of guy but seeing some of the people who own or manage there companies there and supporting there product . well I guess it is a good feeling of doing business with them .

    Had a great time, met some old friends from the area. I walked a lot and would have spent more time, but wife was worried I was overdoing my New knee (3 months ago),I was starting to limp a bit.

    Stopped by Taaurus booth, talked to rep and asked about availablity of magazines for my PT 738, as they are hard to find.
    He took one out of a display gun, and said here have one. Cool[:D]

    Next time Nashville, only 60 miles away.
