Just received a call asking if I wanted my table for the July 4/5 Gun Show at the Melbourne auditorium confirming the show will take place as scheduled

No mention of restrictions regarding social distancing etc but the show will happen

Medium size show has many FFLs plus some private guys with a few large ammo dealers plus reloading supplies

No way of know what to expect with the disruption of shows and business so your guess is as good as mine

I just hope there is not a spike in the China Virus that causes this to be shut before it opens

Bet they will make everyone wear masks, and will be limiting capacity to 50%.
We shall see.

Still, it will be nice to finally get the shows running again.

Need that for it to even happen at all.
So far no call from them to me to cancel this show.

I will call Wed-Thur to double check and get any restrictions they might be imposing and post it

IMO if this happens there will not be another show for a while with the Kungflu uptick

Latest update

Spoke with Bill Page and the show is on and the Vice Mayor, running for reelection (or running to be mayor?) will be there so it looks like the city will not drop a last minute close it down bomb

Mask will be available for free as well as latex gloves. They will be encouraged but not mandatory

There will be about a 20% reduction in vendor tables to increase social distancing.
This will widen the isle over what we are used to

There will be a limit of 500 people (Not counting vendors) at a time inside (50% normal capacity) so when 20 come out 20 will be allowed in etc etc

See y'all the :) re
