I have been thinking. (Yeah frightning ain't it?)
There seems to be a very large contingent us Western Washington folks on The High Road and The Firing Line.

I am proud to be associated with both groups and I suspect that many others feel the same way.

I wonder how many times I have stood next to or walked past a THR/TFL member at one of the local Gunshows and didn't realize it.
Also I think that there are many more good people out there that would be a welcome addition to the furums.

I was wondering if those of us who attend the Washington Arms Collectors (http://www.washingtonarmscollectors.org) shows would be willing to meet each other and at the same time quietly promote the forums?

I was thinking of a way to identify ourselves.

I was thinking of printing up small labels that simply said "www.thehighroad.com" that could be attached to the WACA name badge?

Or perhaps even a separate "badge" with screen name and forum name?

What say ye?

Is there any interest in this or would y'all rather stay anonymous?

I like the idea of labels that say www.thehighroad.org or even one that just says THR with the logo on it.

i should probably join the WAC, huh?

i should probably join the WAC, huh? Of course you should!
It then gets you and your spouse/S.O. into all of the WAC gunshows free. And your children under 18 get in free also.

Besides if you are not a member you cannot buy or sell a firearm at a WAC show. You can't even walk around inside carrying one.
Plus the monthy newpaper is better than many gun magazines.

oh, I know.. I USED to be a member, my dumb butt just let it lapse..

If you still have your old membership badge they will probably let you in free so you can re-up. If not they'll deduct the admission price off of your membership.

There's a group of us shooting tomorrow (Friday) at Sam's Range in South Everett. (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=1512962)
Then most of us are meeting up Saturday morning at Puyallup.

You ought to join us.

[tarrigoni]

I'll be in puyallup on saturday morning, but it won't be till late morning and I'll have the wife with me. I'm amazed she agreed to go!

Everett is a bit too far to drive on a friday afternoon, we should get an outdoor shoot together in the summer.

Bluesbear, great idea. Perhaps simply a small sticker that could be attached to the WAC badge, but with big, easily read letters such as "THR Member" ... would be a good icebreaker for opening conversation ...
