[QUOTE="mdm.gunbroker, post: 1501108, member: 7201"] Got there about 9:30. Extended NRA membership, got in free. My 12 yr old daughter got in for $3.00. Bought her a 50 BMG aluminum tip round for souvenir (another $3). She thought was cool. (BTW, Top Shot is shooting a 50 on Tuesday). Proceeded to have custom molded ear protection made for both. Pricey, but worth the money. bought some lense de-fogger from the next-booth neighbor ("Sir, may I clean your glasses?") While getting my ears done, Oklahoma's first blind female Concealed Weapon Permit holder walked up with her husband and was chatting with the de-fogger guy. Interesting, blind, armed, and walking a German Shepherd (Dude, you may have picked the wrong lady to mug!) Turkey Jerky from Texas Best. Toffee Almonds, Diet Coke (this is a gun show, right?) Al Mar Eagle blade. Only one he had, and it was under the counter. No box, but looked brand new. Late birthday present. No one has these in stock so I was really stoked. Checked out some incredible artwork at Pridgen Custom Knives ([url]www.pridgencustomknives.com[/url]). Couple of Mini-14 mags, 250 rounds of Five Seven ($100.00 Ouch!).
