    A Q pls if I may.

    Why would you leave the * things in your car? At most gun shows would you have a problem if you use a day pack?

    Thanks for your input, keep up the good work.

    Some people use a day pack, I just prefer not to carry it around. I'm likely to leave it somewhere. Either way will work. At a gargantuan show I would likely use a back pack.

    Thanks.

    I picked up the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson over the weekend. Apparently it's out of print, but I don't know if that's because a new edition is coming out or not.

    I'll have to look into the other two.

You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
