I would like to say I am no teetotaler and did not start this discussion to try convert anyone to sobriety. I very much enjoy drinks or cold beers with my hunting and shooting friends after the guns are put safely away. I feel the same about drinking and driving. I don't drive after I have been drinking and I wont ride with someone who has been drinking. That is just the way I conduct myself no more no less. The OGCA has a set of rules for members that are strictly enforced. The dealer who was expelled broke a rule and was dealt an immediate expulsion. He lost 7 tables rent for this show, is barred from the next show, and his membership will be reviewed for further action. The OGCA runs a tight ship, but is one of the best shows in the country. Has I stated before I have no axe to grind with the dealer. I will say he has a very nice display of guns. The majority he has told me before are on consignment. I was already in setting up has he and another gentleman gently brought the guns into the Roberts Center and carefully laid them out. I can also tell you there was absolutely no gentleness and care as these same guns left the Roberts Center after the incident. I don't know if this was due to alcohol, emotions, or a combination of both.
