Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

Is there a convenient place to stop for an ammo run on the way or does the range have ammo at a reasonable price?

Range is out in BFE, so I doubt they would sell ammo at a good price. We just hit the Wal-Mart thats over by the airport. It's also next to a Sonic, so .223 and cherry lime-aid for the win!

Funny you should mention that. I have a friend that is working on building a ammo production business in the area (and Defcon Attendee!) and would be very likely to help out with both parts of your question, depending on what calibers you need.

I am going to try to make it this year.

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

I'm going to try and get a larger car this year. I had a Dodge Caliber last year. The joke was if it was really a caliber, it would be a .22. Thing was the most underpowered POS I've driven in a long time. If I can get a larger car, I'll try to take more than myself and 2 others in it. If ammo prices stabilize in the near future I'll bring out some of the heavy stuff. I've got new NFA goodies in my collection as well.

FYI.
The 900 acre Clark County Shooting Park should be open by the time Defcon rolls into Vegas.

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

I've only been to DefCon once, and never done the shoot, but looking forward to it this year!

Will be bringing some arms, but I'm a bit concerned about storage at the hotel since I've never traveled with them before...

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

well, what questions do you have? I'm willing to be we can answer them.

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

Would it be better to keep the firearms locked in their cases in the hotel room, or checked with the front desk, or (guessing not this one) in the vehicle?

It's not the legality of transporting/storing them that concerns me, but their security while I'm not there. I'm planning on bringing at least one rifle, so the room "safe" won't be an option.

Maybe I'm too worried about it, but I'd hate for any of them to go missing.

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

Well, risk assessment is what we all do in some way or another. You have to determine what level of risk you're comfortable with. I wouldn't leave it in your vehicle at all. Vegas hotels are a high prowl area. Heck, I know a DEFCON attendee who had his friends car get stolen while it was parked at the conference.

Locked up and tucked away in your room is probably a good idea. I would even go further by disabling the weapon, maybe lock up the bolt or such in the hotel safe.

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

I'm pretty knowledgable on NV gun laws.
So, if you want to know what's legal or illegal, ask away.

Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

What day are you guys planning on doing this? I'm booking my hotel room and flight, and I'd like to make sure I don't cut myself off from this before I do.

And is there a good place to pick up some 7.62x54r around Vegas? Damned jet Blue and their "10 rounds" policy...

I would not weep if you banned this guy. I hate spam, and it is not like we hide the rules around here.

In other news, Boombox might be interested in attended a Shoot this year. He has requested his vacation time, but a lot can change between now and then. I am not sure if Cough will want to go, and I've not heard back from the other people that might be coming with me to con.
