What Vendors Should Expect

Professional Standards

Vendors are expected to know and comply with all applicable laws. Merchandise should be directly related to firearms, shooting sports, personal protection, or responsible firearm ownership. Acceptable categories include:

• New, used, and collector-grade firearms

• Optics and firearm accessories

• Ammunition

• Magazines and components

• Holsters, cases, slings, and range gear

• Eye and ear protection, locks, and other safety equipment

• Cleaning supplies, gunsmithing tools, and maintenance products

• Targets and training aids

Merchandise not clearly connected to firearms or shooting sports must be pre-approved before display or sale. Items that create a non-firearm “flea market” atmosphere—such as general collectibles, militaria patches, unrelated antiques, or non-relevant memorabilia—are discouraged and may be disallowed.

Firearm & Safety Requirements

We maintain strict safety protocols throughout the show:

• No loaded firearms inside the venue (except law enforcement/security).

• All firearms must have clear chambers at all times.

• Magazines must be removed; no loaded magazines may be displayed or sold.

• Firearms must be secured with light-colored zip-ties so staff can verify them easily.

• Vendors may temporarily remove zip-ties for inspection but must re-secure them immediately afterward.

Unsafe handling, accidental discharge, or refusal to follow these requirements will result in immediate removal from the show.

Table Conduct, Show Hours & Early Departure Policy

Our show’s reputation is built on consistency and professionalism. To maintain that standard:

• Vendors must staff their tables during all show hours (Saturday 9–5, Sunday 9–3).

• Early breakdown on Sunday is not permitted without prior approval.

• Leaving early without permission will result in loss of eligibility for future shows.

• Placing your merchandise on another vendor’s table, “covering” for an early departure, is strictly prohibited.

• Late arrivals, early departures, or no-shows are grounds for removal from the vendor roster.

Payments & Cancellations

• First-time vendors must pay in full to reserve space.

• Payment deadlines are firm; missing a deadline forfeits the reservation.

• Cancellations within 14 days of Friday set-up are non-refundable.

• Repeated cancellations or inconsistent participation may affect eligibility for future tables.

Hold Harmless Requirement

All confirmed vendors must sign a Hold Harmless Agreement acknowledging personal responsibility for merchandise, equipment, and actions during the event.
