David, thanks for that. One thing that ironically did strike me as embarrassing this year looking at the pictures of the SHOT show are the "Booth Babes" as they are called.

I'm a man, and I know it's Vegas, but I couldn't help think how this perpetuates the "ignorant gun-nut" myth. I thought this especially because in the pictures this year I saw that the industry was tailoring some of its products to women with multicolored weapons and accessories.

How would the guys attending the SHOT show feel if, in Vegas style, some muscular men clad only in loin-cloth with their 6-pack abs showing were at vendor's tables trying to woo women to their products?

To me, there is nothing more sexy than a fully clothed woman wearing a quality sidearm, as well as having the means and training to use it!

But, you want to know what was really inexcusable?! The NSSF's number that 40% of firearms have defects.

The industry has a long way to go in both quality and respect. Thank goodness the fairer sex are learning about firearms despite our poor "man"-ners."

Booth Babes exist across the Trade Show Universe, even at terabyte full-nerdly semiconductor engineering and silicon-wafer trade-shows. The Entertainment Industry trade-shows are especially egregious and women unfriendly.
