Default Annual Meeting Location

Ten years or more ago, the Annual Meeting was at a gun show in Virginia or Maryland. Does anybody remember the location?

I didn't go to the banquet, just the gun show, so I dunno.

Yeah I went to Pintail too, this was a different time.

I think you are talking about the Chantilly gun show.

Chantilly, the "Nation's Gun Show". Way more than 10 years ago, it was in Richmond, at the State Fairgrounds.

My guess is he's referring to the Chantilly gun show. I remember the PGCA had quite a few tables and I talked to Bruce Day. I had just recently found out about the PGCA. Probably around 2005 or so.
