Sigh. One of these years I will get a chance to return to the SHOT Show.<\/p>\n<p>The one and only SHOT Show I attended was the one in Dallas in 1996. I was working as the part-time bookkeeper for a knife company and I got to help man the booth. I did get to leave the booth occasionally and I was like a kid in a candy store. It was awesome. It is one of those things everyone needs to do if they ever get the chance.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t be at the show but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exurbanleague.com\/misfires\/2013\/12\/09\/date-time-2014-shot-show-new-media-meetup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exurban Kevin will be and he is arranging a New Media Meetup<\/a>. It is scheduled for Tuesday night at 9pm at The Bourbon Room in the Venetian. See the instructions at the link on how to RSVP.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to helping organize the New Media Meetup, Kevin has kindly compiled a list of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exurbanleague.com\/misfires\/2013\/12\/03\/gunbloggers-survival-guide-shot-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 things bloggers and new media types should do at the SHOT Show<\/a>. Actually, it is a list everything you shouldn&#8217;t do if you ever hope to establish any sort of relationship with a firearms company or any other vendor. Doing some of these things might even be hazardous to your health such as numbers 7, 8, or 10.<\/p>\n<p>To those who will be attending the SHOT Show, I hope you have a great time and I look forward to reading and\/or hearing your reports from this great event.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Day at the 2014 SHOT Show starts tomorrow and I won&#8217;t be there.
