I`ve been a member for a few weeks and find it very informative. Maybe this has been suggested before but how about a forum dedicated to gun shows? Not just the big ones, the smaller ones held in firehouses, Legion Halls, VFW`s and the like. I don`t bother reading the newspapers that much and in my part of the country there are a lot of the smaller shows just about every weekend. My point is not so much to go and buy things but to get out and show support for them. Any member who knows about a show could list it with the pertinent info. The smaller the better. It may encourage others to have more shows. We`re pretty lucky here in NE Pa. If there`s a local gun show one of the TV stations will list it in their "Things To Do" segment if they`re notified in advance. Unfortunately, many don`t take advantage of this free service. Since this board has a lot of members, I think it could be a good thing.

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.
