Gun show moved to Tucson Expo Center, 3750 E. Irvington
Those of you who know me, know I don't ask things of people very often.
In truth, I'd like you to do something both for yourself, and for freedom
next Saturday and Sunday. I'd like you to take as many of your family
members as you can to the McMann Roadrunner Tucson Gun Show next weekend,
2/18 & 19, which will be at the Tucson Expo Center, 3750 E Irvington Rd, not
at the TCC as usual.
At the last TCC show, the city accepted a deposit for the hall for 2/18
& 19, and then someone forgot to write the contract. It was then rented out
to another show, leaving Lori McMann to find another venue. TCC officials
have apologized for the mistake and have offered to put people at the curb
telling them the show has moved. That venue, again, is The Tucson Expo
Center, 3750 E Irvington Rd, Just East of Palo Verde on the South side of
Irvington. It's right between Denny's and Carl's Jr. for those who navigate
by landmark.
Here's the rub: many will be disappointed to find that the show is not
at TCC, and go home. That is not good for Roadrunner Shows, or any of its
vendors. They need a good turn out, and I'm asking you to help with that
turn out by forwarding this to everyone you know in Tucson who might be
interested in going to this gun show. Why?
Pat McMann fought very hard against some underhanded and anti-freedom
policies of the City of Tucson that tried to keep him out of the TCC. He
went so far as to go to court and fight a tough and courageous battle
against the City, which he did not win, but set the tone for changes in the
pre-emption law, ARS 13-3108. In the end, the show stayed at TCC, mostly on
his resolve. I am sure that that battle hastened the stroke that killed him.
Now his daughter Lori and widow Joan carry on his business, running clean,
ethical, and well done shows all over the state.
Can we, as gun owners, pay back a little of the debt to the McMann
Family for standing up for our rights to assembly? I hope so. Please attend
the show Saturday, 2/18, 9 - 5, and Sunday 9 - 4, and forward this to
everyone you know who might attend. I'll even forgive the regular listeners
to the Swap Shop, Sunday 10 AM - noon and Liberty Watch Sunday noon - 2 PM
on AM 690 KVOI, for missing the shows that week to go to the gun show. So
please, redistribute this widely, and thanks.
Respectfully,
