It was amazing...I was surrounded by thousands of people and thousands of guns, people even carrying them *gasp*! And you know what? Not a single one went off and I witnessed no bloodbath as crazy as it might seem...

It was jam packed though, they even opened up 30 minutes early just to get the lines moving. We left at 10:30 and the police were barring entry until the fire marshal showed up to assess the situation. Even then the line inside switch-backed the front lobby three times over.

I was surprised by the amount of 30 round mags still around, a lot were still at their "normal" pricing, but highly disappointed the usual reloading supply vendor wasn't there. There were a few people selling a single box of primers or powder, one guy was gouging at $55/box for small rifle. Ammo was scarce in the .22lr and .308 variety , though it seemed like plenty of other types.

Typical idiots playing with the tasers and making that annoying racket and the vendors with things not relating anything to guns/knives, even a few empty tables. Over all though it was nice to see such support there and a nice size crowd.
