Default Stamford Fine Arms Show: IMPORTANT INFO

This information is fairly new, so I apologize for not posting it earlier.
The Advocate Newspapers has been working feverishly to organize an anti-gun protest at this weekend's Stamford show. Please be aware, if you have not previously attended this show, that it is held on private property (a Hotel) with adjoining indoor parking. I think it would be most wise to use the indoor parking, and proceed directly into the hotel lobby. You will be much less likely to have any encounters with protestors.
If you are approached by, or have any encounters with protestors, please use your utmost restraint, and be as respectful to them as you would want in return.
This may be difficult, and no one knows this more than me, but it will pay us more dividends than a confrontational attitude.
I will be traveling with my mentor and old friend, so may not be able to stay all day, but, other than a few nameless individuals, I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Edgar;
Please post a report on the show over the weekend. Between you, Dave and the rest of the crew we should get a pretty good idea of how the show went and what you all saw for sale. Those protesters would do better by going to the state capital and demanding answers from their legislators on HIPA reform and why they permit lenient sentences for repeat offenders. But that would make too much sense would'nt it?

If I thought talking with these people would have even the slightest chance of doing good I might. But I don't, so I won't. Not to mention that I'd likely be led off in tie-wraps.

My breakfast was interrupted this morning by the news that a well known Parker afficianado bought an HE-Grade Super-Fox at Stamford today!!

Dave,

Did that Parker guy send photos to share?

Unhappy

Super-Fox sightings get passed pretty quickly. I heard about it first thing this morning. 32 incher with factory 3-inch chambers and full capped pistol grip. Rats, I wasn't able to make this show.
