Lucky#13 Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Frank, thanks for the head's up. I spoke with the Chipotle Publishing office last week, but they didn't have the formal state green light yet, though I my planning was on full speed ahead. My tables are paid and I am getting ready. Are you attending? I've got a copy of Hard Rain I should bring to have you sign, if you would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxfaxdude Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Awesome! I've already marked out my calendar. It's a great show for any firearms enthusiast. This is good news, since the 2021 Shot Show has been cancelled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hey Lucky#13! Welcome to the Thompson Board! Have you finally made the switch from belt feds to Thompsons? LOL! You will enjoy this Board a lot. Great folks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Unfortunately, I won't be there this year. New job, so hard to get a few days off right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 WELL as of this a.m. the show will be outside and in tents.Will have more info Thursday. And if we have a Harris administration, It all won't matter anyhow. We have Red Dawn w/o the parachutes and crossings.RON K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what vendor with anything of value is going to leave their stuff outside in tents? Are they having the resident homeless encampment running security at night?If I were local I'd ponder going for a few hours, but I'd guess the regular vendor list is pretty small right now with not many if any of the bigger vendors driving cross country to coronaville? Personally I'm not boarding a plane until the face petri dishes are gotten rid of. It's possible SAR ended last Dec.? Too bad, I kind of enjoyed Scottsdale in the evening even if the show was not spectacular, as a package it was sort of worth it to fly down for 30 hour total trip. Could be the end of an era....like a lot of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTRS-14.5 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) So does any one have a write statement from SAR (Shea) on this issue of the tents. I know insures will have an issue with coverage in such a case... ThxPTRS Edited November 6, 2020 by PTRS-14.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 As i stated here will have a follow thru on Monday and as of today the portion besides SAR is tents. I don't come here ever to report b.s. stories. And when released whatever time on Monday i will put it here. It is the state not SAR DAN OR the other Promoter, who i met. and been to his shows for years Heck 20 years at SAR alone. {Probably more from other show goers} Hoping for the best but at this stage looks like Tents 50% chance if not more. they can't have full portion in small building older gents> and exclude rest of show to tents,It is a royal cluster. They cancelled shot show unheard of in its history AND KNOB CREEK FOR YEAR. RON K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted November 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Its the state's directives, not the show promoters, I have no other info at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Yes Frank i follow that you always have good info. And i always try and research things also since i attended the Indy shows Kentucky And many in Illinois.And even shutting down O.G.C.A. and the okie show the past year was crazy and the Max collector show but they did.So hope all goes strong for this one this year. Maybe we can call it the big tent circus show everybody is invited.buy guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APEXgunparts Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 The Colorado Gun Collectors show was postponed, then cancelled for 2020.It is a national event, held once a year.No real practical options were available.However, the Gem and Mineral show was held over at the Denver Coliseum.Lots of restrictions, but they were able to have it.Some of these public event centers are on the verge of financial collapse, no revenue to pay the bills.You can bet the next owners of the property will develop it into apartments or something besides an event center.Shows next year may not have a "home"Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbtf70 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 We got a call on the SAR show today. The all tents is correct. They are planning 10x10 tents with four tables per tent. We decided to cancel and roll the fees over to next year's show (if there is one in a potential Biden administration). They may have a building where you can lock up things at night, but you will have to move your stuff every day. I don't think many people will want to leave expensive toys in a 10x10 tent from Thursday afternoon through Sunday. There will be a lot of ammunition sellers, but the December weather is unpredictable. Sometimes very nice; sometimes wind and rain. I don't expect to see a lot of $20K - $50K machine guns sitting out in tents. Maybe things will change in the next couple of weeks, like the PA ballot counts. Dave H.

colt21a Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 AS i stated when i had original post TENT CITY SHOW for 2020. five of my friends over 30 tables will not be attending this year.And i won't have the fun lunch shoot the bull table. each table will have a ten by ten tent and mask at all times and power is more with side curtains{I am done no reason to post the info.} the state and Covid destroyed all that is fun in life.It will be like the Tucson swap meet w/o the taco stands. Hopefully 2021 will be back to normal...and we all can enjoy the fun we shared for the past 20 years.RON K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APEXgunparts Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 APEX Gun Parts is still planning on attending.Several of the 10X10 tents will go together to accommodate our tables.We won't have any storage issues as we don't sell guns.Being 2020 I do have some weather concerns!However, we do the Knob Creek show in a tent and that is on dirt!At least this won't turn to mud under us.I am staying back this year, too much going on at APEX for Jeff and I both to be away.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APEXgunparts Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Looking on other boards and see the names of dealers & people who have decided not to attend the 2020 SAR west show.I guess the question becomes WHO IS attending!The COVID curve in Colorado is one step away from "stay at home" now.We have to travel thru NM and they not receptive to out of state visitors at this time.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Here in Ohio our Gov. is threatening to shut down the state again. I was planning to shoot a GSSF Match tomororw but that was canceled last minute. Im fully expecting Ohio Gun Collectors Assn to be shut down for next weekend.

colt21a Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Yes they really want to shut us all down don't they gun show after gun show country wide see a pattern here. Even some 200 table shows are called off now... its like don't like something Covid shut it down. Thanksgiving of course. Will they do the same with Christmas coming up also. I bet they try and do it. Yep the U.S.A. has sure lost it in 2020.i posted it before and still true today. Some may feel that way some might not.RON K.

johnsonlmg41 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Im just waiting to see all these states losing their minds because they have no tax revenue for the 2021 year It doesn't work that way. How many TSA employees are layed off even though the airports are like deserts? They haven't cut spending a dime because they are counting on a HUGE federal payout to make up the difference. The only exception is police, they just cut 120 positions in the city here with a record homicide rate this year. Private venues will go broke, eventually forcing guns shows etc. to be forced into public buildings (which most already are) where they have complete control to get rid of gun shows i.e. California, which successfully did it years ago. You can already stick a fork in SAR show for several other reasons. Crossroads will still be around for a while until they don't let guns on city property, and that's in the works. Yesterday gov. motorboater filed suit to close an oil pipeline.....say hello to $5 gal gasoline in Ohio and other places, you guys won't be able to afford to go to a range for a shoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
