Folks, as promised in a previous discussion, Top Shelf Sports (in association with Bayoushooter.com) is going to host an "old school" type of gun show. This will not be advertised to the public outside of bs.com. The objective is to have "like minded" people show up for a swap meet where we can trade, swap, show off, meet and greet, etc. That being said, you are more than welcome to invite others, even if they are not bs.com members. Please do not post about the show in any other public place or forum. We are not going for any record number of people here and making a profit is not a priority. This is simply for us to be able to get together and have a real gun show. Dream catcher vendors not allowed!!!
Details: The event will take place at Top Shelf Sports in Youngsville, LA on July 23rd from 8am-3pm. The address is 1616 Youngsville Hwy. 70592 (located at the corner of Hwy 89 and the new Ambassador Caffery Extenstion). Admission will be $8, kids under 12 are free but must be accompanied by an adult (we have an arcade in the building to keep the kids busy). For a booth/table, admission will be $25. TOP SHELF CAN NOT PROVIDE TABLES TO PEOPLE WANTING A BOOTH. We only have 8 tables here so we can not give them out. If registering a booth, please bring your own tables!!! Paying for a table will get 2 people in (so you can still roam around and leave your table attended). Also, Top Shelf can not provide electricity to tables. Please do not bring an extension cord and ask us to plug in.
Aside from the arcade for the kids, we also have a concession stand in the building which will be open for service. (coffee, sodas, sports drinks, candy, nachos, hot dogs, pretzles, etc.)
Like any other gun show (or firearms related event), safety is our #1 priority. All firearms being brought into the show will be inspected at the door and actions will be zip-tied. Concerning CCW: !THIS IS IMPORTANT SO PAY ATTENTION! Top Shelf has a Class E alcohol permit We sell beverages with an alcoholic content of 6% or less (beer only permit). The "sports arena exemption" is there because we are not a bar and have minors in the building on a regular basis. I have checked with the proper authorities on this one: because this is a private event and guns are not being sold by FFLs or individuals in a place where alcohol is being sold, we are in the clear. Beer will NOT be sold to anyone during the hours of the event so please do not even ask.
Space for tables is limited so if you would like to pre-register a table, please send an email to josh(at)topshelfsports(dot)net. When we get closer to the date of the show, I will give an update on available space and number of pre-registrations. Please do not send me a PM on this one.
We also need a group of volunteers to help us work the door. The employees of TS are not exactly gun educated people so I do not want to put them in a situation where they might overlook something or damage someone's property. We are looking for 6 people total (2 people per 2 hour shift) to sit at the door and inspect/tie wrap firearms. Working as a volunteer will get you a table at the show for free if you wish or just free admission, your choice.
If anyone has any questions, please post them here in this thread. I will answer them here so I don't get 200 emails asking the same question. I'm sure I have left something out so please ask.
