I attended the show in Columbus Ohio this past week end. It was really a good show and I got a chance to visit with some old friends that I have not seen in years, and also sell a pistol that I did not need anymore.
There was a large selection of about anything that you wanted (except for 5mm rimfire ammo).
I really have to hand it to the folks that run the show, as they do a fantastic job. GREAT JOB!!!!
On Saturday, there were some young enterprising guys that came into the show. I guess that they figured that they really needed a couple nines to add to their gang arsenol, which of course they did not want to pay for.
They grabbed two off of a dealers table, and ran for the door. The security immediately locked the place down, however the two perps had made it throught the door, and were running toward a bunch of apartments within eye sight of the show.
There were alot of LEOs and security chasing them. The bad guys made it to the back of the lot where they were taken into custody. I am not sure where all the LEOs and cars came from, as I did not see them when I entered the show, just a few on security. I really have to hand it to them, they were ready. It is good to know that they are at these events keeping the bad guys under check.
What is really sad, is the fact that the bad guys think that they can just take whatever they want, especially they way it happened. I have been to many gun events, and I have been there when someone picked up a gun and tried to walk out with, or actually took a gun, but nothing like this.
The sad thing is, the dealers or participants of the shows work very hard to build up a business, and these punks with no morals just think that they can take what they want, when they want.
I know the dealer that it happened to, and he was nervous, and really trying to keep a close watch on his firearms after the incident.
We are definately living in a much different world than it was just 10 years ago.
That brings me to another point. Why don't the liberals get rid of the gangs instead of going after the guns, as the gangs with the thefts and drugs and such seem to be generating 80 percent of the crime. I guess that the guns are a much easier target,and the fact that you are dealing with law abiding individuals, makes it even easier. That is my two cents worth. Enough said.
Again, my hat goes off to the security and the LOEs that handled the situation extremely well. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!
