Anyone going?

Not this year, but I have been in the past. In fact when it was in Louisville I was a city ambassador which gained me access to some speeches, etc which was very interesting since it was an election year.

It is an incredible display of what every major manufacturer out there has to offer. The best part...you can walk to any booth and pick up and play with every firearm they have on the market. Imagine the world largest gun store with very friendly staff. Lots of knife and accessory manufacturers as well.

Where's it at?

[mwlabel]

St. Louis this year.

Wish I could go. Could not care less about most of the "vest-wearers" there, but getting to hang out with the manufacturers and competitive shooters is awesome.

I will be attending the 2013 SHOT show though, can't wait!

Wish I could go, but I can't justify taking time off, and the money it would cost me to go out there. :(

I am headed for work but hopefully I can do some browsing as well!

I'm jealous, I always hear about the crazy deals you can get out there on stuff that isn't even released yet.

[JayD]

Lol I am hoping to be able to walk around some. I will try to give details!

I went to Pittsburgh's Meeting a year or two ago. Italushrt isn't exaggerating, it was an incredible display. Every major manufacturer and a lot of minors were present. Gravity, no guns or ammo were for sale in Pittsburgh. I think that is the standard. There was a lot of accessories and NRA stuff for sale.

I had an amazing time. Something like 72.000 people over the course of the weekend.
