Wasn't there some chatter about the organizer 'speaking" to some guys selling in the parking lot?

Someone had a sign up behind their car I think telling of 3 or 4 items for sale and was asked to not do that , but it wasn’t in the tent .

The AH Fox Collectors can place members guns for sale in our booth because we pay the full rent for our booth space.

That explains it. PGCA gets a gratis booth, so the proprietors make the rules. Maybe PGCA should pay the freight so its members can make some trades and display their treasures. It's not too late to change the rules for this year.

Why incur a major expense so a few members can sell guns on the Association’s dime? We already share a huge tent with LCS. No reason to rent space and have to watch over a booth for 4 days.
