Anyone going to the Trexpo-East show/conference in Dulles the week of Aug. 17-20? I have wanted to go for the past few years but something has always come up. This year is looking good and that Friday, Aug. 20, is range day at the Silver Eagle Group range. Hands on shooting demo's.....I would be hard pressed to think of a better way to spend a Friday!
Anyone able to offer feedback on the show from prior years? It looks like it is only available to military/law enforcement but where there is a will, there is a way

I'd go, but I'm not one of the anointed.

That would be great! I always get ignored at trade shows. I guess I look like a nobody with no money.

The problem if you talk to the vendors is they sometimes get your name and where you work...often from someone else. Then you get phone calls which if you ignore get elevated. And, certain people think that just because they can use a phone or e-mail to call a 3-star's office will. Then you get directed to call them, bring them in for a briefing, follow ups, etc, etc, etc. A complete time waster for the most part...
