CT has a waiting period unless you have a CT CCW! Even a C&R FFL doesn't bypass the waiting period, so my response (I have no other reason to be in CT other than passing thru on my way to NJ occasionally) is to skip any thought of attending a gun show there.

Thanks for the reminder. I went to that show in the Fall and it was pretty decent. There were several parts dealers and I was able to get a front band for my SMLE No 5 Mk I.
Rifle and Shotgun prices were a bit high, though.

But in MA I hear you need a LTC to purchase ammo, in CT if you have a ccw permit there is no waiting period. And all I have ever been asked for to but ammo in CT was a driver license. (to verify age). Not that is much better then MA but it helps.
CT Dakota, you heard correctly. LTC to purchase pistol/rifle/shotgun ammo or OC/Mace. FID allows you to purchase ONLY rifle/shotgun ammo or OC/Mace.
Just guessing but more likely than not you stopped at my brother's table and proberly got these parts from him as he's primarily THE parts guy, especially for military stuff at the shows.
Pretty sure he's expecting to be at these shows again.

Since he's in Westbrook either it's your brother or a hell of a coincidence. <G> He had a very good selection of parts. I'm going to guess that he doesn't do MA shows as I've never seen him before.
Gary
Nope that's him. What he has on the tables is just a bit of what he's got. if he doesn't by chancve have it, he'll proberly know who would. I know he does the Big E and I think he's doing a few other MA shows as well. I believe he'll be at manchester as he usually isand I think Concord. he's got quite a few scheduled as far away and PA.

January 13-14. Last year it was at the Radisson(?) I think. The information is here under DiPrete shows. You have to scroll down a bit.
Gary
is the manchvegas show still on? dont wanna drive up there and have it be cancelled like the salem show
Contact Pat DiPrete and ask. That's the best way to verify one of her shows. AFAIK, she does NOT cancel her shows. We seem to be able to count on her shows like clockwork . . . of course she's "local" to the areas of her shows, which helps.
