Yes there was an ND Vendor towards the back of building had an AR round discharged around 1 o'clock today.
Do you know which vendor this was? I was there at the time and the moment the shot went off — the whole building went silent. People just froze and then after like 30 seconds, things returned to normal. I’m curious what the AR round hit & if there was anyone that got hurt. Honestly a bit frustrating that vendors are supposed to come into the show with no rounds inside the chamber but clearly they didn’t check..
More than that. They’re also supposed to zip tie the action of every firearm!
I am not sure exactly who the vendor was, I can find out, They were new vendors, they chose to not follow the rules and it cost them.
No Show opens at 10am Sunday, no one was hurt!
Multiple announcements prior to show and during advising of the requirement to Zip Tie and secure guns with paracord or some type of locking device. This vendor chose to ignore it all.
Oh, I recognize that description! You were quite helpful in guiding me to figure out what the Sig P322 was analogous to, for which we came to the conclusion its size was closest to the Sig P320 Compact. Thank you for your assistance! You have a great booth with cool guns for sale. I hope y'all manage to sell a fair bit!
Nah, nobody was injured. I rushed over as quick as I could to ensure medical aid was available if need be, but when I got there it was just a guy staring dumbfounded at the gun in his hand. No blood, nobody got hurt, not sure where the bullet impact was, but it wasn't in a person or anything that mattered. Nobody was told to leave, and the show went on as normal. Security reviewed the situation and didn't seem to believe there was cause for alarm, only cause for that vendor to pack up and vamoose. Which is unfortunate, they looked like they had a neat booth. But an ND isn't something we can abide by.
First and Last for them, costly lesson for them unfortunately!
Weapon Works brought out their really good stuff! Without a doubt the coolest table in the show to me. I couldn't afford to buy too much, but I managed to score a Romanian 7.62x39 AK drum at a good deal, and a neat Hawaiian floral print laser-engraved Pmag from WeaponWorks without going over my budget, so that was nice. So many good deals on lots of guns I absolutely want. I finally got to handle a 308 Valmet, which was super cool, as well as the CMMG Mutant in 7.62x39 that I've been wanting to check out for forever. There were a surprising number of Springfield Hellions at the show, and all at relatively fair prices. So it's neat to see those slowly trickling into the market.
Most definitely. Probably not allowed to come back, and probable loss of FFL, based on what the vendors were telling me. You could probably say more for sure than I can. Shame it happened. I hate to see allies in the gun industry made to pack up, but those rules are there for a reason.
I would be surprised if they lose their FFL , they won't be allowed back to a Dixie Show for awhile I'm sure.
Oh, well that's good. Nobody was hurt, so if I had the power to make those decisions I wouldn't take their FFL away. But I could definitely see them not being allowed back at the Dixie show for a while as a matter of event safety.
Hi there! I did not see a P7 at the Dixie show, but I know that Mace Sports in Mebane, NC has a P7 for sale because I handled it right before closing time there on Friday. Unless they sold it today, they'd probably still have it if you wanted to drive up Tuesday to get it. I think they wanted $1700ish for it.
Wow thanks for the great info. I’m going back to Jacksonville tomorrow night but I’ll have to find a way to get up there. $1700 is worth going out of my way for sure based on what I’ve been seeing..
5pm
10am-5pm today.
I'm about to find out. The parking lot is pretty full. Just parked and heading in. Tall thin guy wearing a tan CFF shirt and grey cap.
It was great meeting you, enjoyed our conversation, look forward to next time
There were a handful of vendors that had primers at $100 or $110 for a 1000ct brick. Not many but they were there. I know Georgia Arms had CCI small magnum rifle primers for that price, and another vendor had a single brick of Federal small magnum pistol primers for the same. A few somewhat unusual primer brands for sale too. Fiocchi and Ginex, maybe others, scattered throughout the show. If I were more loose with my budget this show I might have grabbed the Federal SMPP brick.
