I've never been to one and it's on my bucket list. Just wondering what it's like to be there? The kind of stuff you see? The type of vendors? How big of an area does it cover? Can you buy stuff there or is just to introduce new products? Would love to be there right now...

From what I've seen/heard, its everything and anything related to guns. Hope to go one day also, but I think you may have to be a vendor of some sort to be able to get in, or know somebody, but I'm not sure. I'm guessing carson has been, maybe he'll chime in

You have to be in the industry, military or law enforcement.

but pretty much anyone can get a guest pass. it's silly. manufacturers will have to deal with guys that are there just to look while actual people who will be ordering and stocking the product have to wait. just a headache

My brother works for this company and they just developed a new arm brace. It's actually pretty legit, especially when they run it on the CZ scorpion and MP5.

Its hilarious because in that video the guy shooting the firearm is literally 1" from committed a federal offense. Damn the ATF is a stupid worthless organization.

Lol yea it's actually considered "cheeking" the weapon and not shoulder firing it so he's good to go.

Honestly i don't think it really matters. I haven't heard of a single case of someone being prosecuted for shouldering an "arm brace". And there are plenty of videos online if people doing so.

Not saying it's worth the risk, but I don't think the ATF is going to come after you for it
