Meet Moises and Ming (see below). They were from Maxpedition.   Maxpedition makes wonderful and durable backpacks.  I have one.   I am left-handed and they pointed out that I did indeed have the right back/side pack for being left-handed.  I had been trying to figure out which side it should reside on.  

Thank you, gentlemen!!

Back to the Shot Show

Meet Ben from Bering Optics!  Bering makes wonderful night vision optics.  A bit out of my price range. But damn, they are nice.

Thanks for chatting Ben!

Someone is getting ready for winter

Stumbled upon this little guy (I am guessing, of course) while "up north". There is nothing like a quiet walk in the woods in the autumn with the leaves turning.   

I will return to the Shot Show attendees after this brief pause to enjoy nature.

Meet Dakota and Kathryn!

I just passed them in the aisle and asked whether I could take their photo.  They were most gracious.  And they have lovely smiles.  

Thank you ladies!  

Shot Show Attendees

 Meet Chad!  Chad is from Caty, TX and represented NFATCA.  For those who don't know, that's the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association.  The NFATCA is a non-profit organization exclusively for educational and charitable purposes.  They do not engage in political actions.  But they do make people aware of the National Firearms Act.   

From Wikipedia, the NFA:

The ostensible impetus for the National Firearms Act of 1934 was the gangland crime of the Prohibition era, such as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, and the attempted assassination of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933.^[3][4][5][6] Like the current National Firearms Act (NFA), the 1934 Act required NFA firearms to be registered and taxed. The $200 tax was quite prohibitive at the time (equivalent to $4,555 in 2023). With a few exceptions, the tax amount is unchanged.^[5][6]

Originally, pistols and revolvers were to be regulated as strictly as machine guns; towards that end, cutting down a rifle or shotgun to circumvent the handgun restrictions by making a concealable weapon was taxed as strictly as a machine gun.^[7]

Conventional pistols and revolvers were ultimately excluded from the Act before passage, but other concealable weapons were not.^[7] Regarding the definition of "firearm", the language of the statute as originally enacted was as follows:

The term "firearm" means a shotgun or rifle having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length, or any other weapon, except a pistol or revolver, from which a shot is discharged by an explosive if such weapon is capable of being concealed on the person, or a machine gun, and includes a muffler or silencer for any firearm whether or not such firearm is included within the foregoing definition.^[8]

It was a delight meeting you Chad!  You were very knowledgeable!   

Thanks!

Miss Lilly

You had a difficult first few years in a puppy mill.  But you were rescued and loved for over 10 years.  You made me very happy when you trusted me enough to let me rub your tummy.  You will be deeply missed, Miss Lillicans.

Meet Jason,

He was representing UCC Ammo.   They make rather customized ammunition for a variety of calibers. VERY cool stuff.
