The 1999 S.H.O.T. Show, in Atlanta, was a once in a lifetime experience for my brother and I; However, a very dark cloud hung over thiis event for us.

Representatives from Colt, Smith & Wesson, Sig Arms, Ruger, Korth, Strayer-Voit, J.P. Enterprise, Wilson Combat, Les Bauer (I met Les Baur) American Firearms, Cimarron, Clark Custom, Hogue, Ajax Grips, Galco, Bianchi, Leopoid, The N.R.A., and most everyone who had anything to do with Firearms, Hunting, Shooting, Accessories, Gun Smiths, Gun Writers, Holster Makers, people like Jerry Miculek and his Wife Kay Clark Miculek, Jim Clark Sr and Jim Clark Jr, Johnny Rowlands, Jack Weigand, and Jack Weigand introduced my Brother and I to Jim Garthwaite.

My Brother and I spent two complete days meeting and talking to people, it was like no other gathering of its kind.

Now for the dark cloud; Only Atlanta could screw up this kind of world wide event, which at that time, would generate about 55 million dollars for the City of Atlanta.

Do the math :

The Clintons + The Racist Black Clergy of Atlanta + The Racist Black Politicians of Atlanta + and The Free Loading Housing Projects Residents of Atlanta, who does nothing but have babies that they can.t support and doing illegal drugs that they can.t afford. These people gets more money and benefits for every child that they give birth to; To them, It don't pay enough to work. Atlanta was full of these kind of people being lead down the primrose path by their racist politicians and racist clergy.

Thats the reason why I called The 1999 S.H.O.T. Show a once in a lifetime event, because, it will never happen again in Atlanta.

By the way; I have never attended any kind of event in Atlanta since.

I save these newspaper clippings, on my clip board, as a reminder.

I think Atlanta would prefer it if most conventions would just mail the revenue to the city instead of having all of those nasty people here along with their money. I know Atl's treatment of the shot show and the industry is still a sore topic.
