Worked today's gun show on behalf of the Colorado Shooting Sports Association, mostly selling raffle tickets for an M1 Garand. Chat with the people, and pass on information.
Shooting buddy stopped by wearing a well-worn "shoot-me-first" vest which we kidded him about and Booth Partner showed off his own sartorial contribution, a vest long enough to be worn in public by a devout mullah, and containing, by his count, 23 pockets, at least two of which were clear plastic fronted so as to show off your hidden I.D. card.
There was a pocket specifically for a pen, containing a pen, one that nicely held a speedloader, 5 rounds, to a gun he wasn't carrying, and at least one which at one time held a magazine to a .45, which he was carrying, but which had transferred the magazine to the lower parts of the vest lining through a hole he could not find.
Manipulating the vest, we could see the magazine through the mesh liner but couldn't figure out how the thing had gotten in there. Perhaps the vest maker should consider a zip-in liner. Booth buddy was advised by several people not to use the vest as a magazine holder for IDPA shooting. A fairly amusing time was had by all.
Gosh, this is a whole lot more fun than kvetching about politics!

I went Saturday, and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't wall-to-wall people. I still didn't hit all the aisles,because a few of them were still pretty well packed -- whatever aisle CSSA was on, must've been one of them. I'd've been tempted by that raffle for sure. As it was, I left with $1 in folding money on me, so it was a good show for me.
CSSA is on the left hand side, about halfway back.
