By exectutive decree (and because he asked for it)  Restless, one of our brand new Osage Orange Hats, has accepted the challenge of coordinating our statewide gun show efforts.

Way to step up, Restless!   :bow:

Restless is going to need our help to make this work.  If he can get us tables at shows around the state, we're going to have to get there and man the booths.  I'm sure the MO crew will show their usual high level of dedication in assisting Restless in his efforts.

Thanks all,

Greybeard

Thanks!

I'm excited to be able to help out.

I'm going to start networking with all these guys this week. If I understand things correctly, RK shows has no problem donating a booth for us... Is that the case, and if so, can someone forward me the contact info for the person you work with at RK?

As far as this weekend goes, Greybeard will be at the Be Prepared Expo down in Springfield. I'm going to try and make it down for that, but it's looking iffy at best, right now.

However, Jesse and I will most definitely be attending the St. Charles gun show this weekend, where we'll be handing out as much information as we possibly can.

I'll make a thread with a list of shows, and which ones need people there as soon as I get it all figured out... Make it as simple as possible.

If anyone has any tips, tricks, thoughts, contacts, mindless banter or anything else that you think might be helpful, please let me know.

Restless,
Good to see ya jumping in with both feet.  If you want any ideas, Pappy is our IL gun show guru.  He has assembled a nice gun show box that gets handed around.  He might have some ideas so you don't have to re-invent the wheel again  ;D

Thanks again,
EEL
Do not fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have war......Let it start here.

Thanks EEL!

Now I get to pick Pappy's brain off the shooting line as well!

Hello Group; The Box is a wood 4.2 mortar ammo box, its large enough so you will not run short on hand outs... MAKE sure you have a lot of shoot flyers to hand out along with the tri folds and the others Swat and blue press.. FRED the helpfull would be glad to send very large boxes to your house!!! Please PM FRED. Tell him we sent YOU, and ask for all your heart desires by the pound... BUT make sure it goes to good use, Gun shows Gun Shops Sports stores ECT You know where and when to hand them out..
Use a LTR on your table... A rifleman can use a rack grade rifle to make rifleman.
Table covers, a blanket or two tree, a painters dropcloth (unused) will work very well and they are cheap...
A BANNER would be realy nice but they are $$ and YOU willl need to buy your own, Contact Castlemountain or Fred... Pappy
Which has greater value?...... Ammo will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no ammo..

Western Missouri Shooter's Alliance (WMSA) has long been active at gun shows, and they're (we're... I'm the VP) very friendly to Appleseed.  In fact, WMSA has been handing out Appleseed literature for over a year now.  I'd imagine that our gun show coordinator would be happy to talk to you.  I'll talk to him about it.

If you've got a gun show in your area, concentrate on that one this weekend... I've got the Springfield show covered.  It's not really a gun show anyway... it's a preparedness expo, but it seemed a good place to get some attendees, anyway.

Pappy; Thanks for the info.  WMSA uses a heavy duty plastic wheeled chest.

Wow way to go! Glad to hear about all that's going on. Restless I'll be glad to man or help out with all the Springfield gun shows. I'm usually there at-least most of Saturday anyway ^-^. In fact with some big help from Paulette I handed out bunches of fliers for the Humansville shoots at the last one.

I'm supposed to RO at an IDPA shoot that morning but I'd be glad to come down in the afternoon if you want a hand. Just let me know.

I have a banner that can be used around St. Louis and southern/central Illinois.  I still need to make a stand for it.  Keep a good list of shows up and I might be able to help some when I go back to the native state.

 Nemo, do you have help this weekend?  I'm afraid the date sunk up on me.  I had some other things planned, but...
