Mike Palmer (Palmer Ordinance) does the BGC. The process is smooth and easy.

Columbia County Sheriff booth is located in the main lobby at the far back.

I'm located on the main aisle, end cap, pretty much in the center of the room. You can't miss my lit up bill board.

Oh crap. Just realized I can go to this today.

And the lines are nothing like they were in the past. Wait time is about 1-1.5 hours at most.

It was pretty quick. When I left there were about 20 or so in line

No line at the moment.... I can see the area where the line would be from my tables.

Strolled in at about 1pm, no one in line, was done in about 15 minutes, most of that was going to the ATM...no checks!

A lot more tables this year if I'm not mistaken.

Versus last spring or...? The show I went to last spring was huge but the one a few months ago was tiny.

Last April they used the main arena. I don't think this one is near as big.

What is the selection of guns and gear like? Better than your typical WAC show?

How long do you think it would take to walk through everything?

I did it in less than 45 mins but I was looking for one particular item...

For the few guns I looked at the prices were decent. For example I saw a new Hi-Point carbine for $295, the usual price is $350.

The show last year (one year ago this month) was much bigger, as it was in the DOME, not the expo hall.

This is the 4th show at the Tacoma Dome facility. This is the 3rd one I've done. I skipped the one last month, which was the first one in the Expo Hall (I think it's officially named the Exhibition Center)

The one last April was bigger than November. November in the Dome, there were empty spaces. Factoring in the empty space, I suppose it made more sense to rent the hall rather than the "Dome"

There are (and always have been) a small handful of vendors at the T-Dome shows that I don't see at other shows I do, so that's a plus for those looking to buy stuff.
