Where is the Dayton Armory?

[mousegunner]

I see there is a gun show at the National Guard Armory in Dayton, Nov 15-16. Can anyone give an address or directions from Chattanooga?

Here's what I found courtesy of Google- hopefully one of the locals can confirm this location.

I might just find my way up there on Saturday...

Hey it is across the street from Lazboy on manufacturers road, right next to Fujifilm chemical plant.

If you are going let me know. I have IDPA that morning but will be going that afternoon for sure.

Anybody ever make one of these shows?? Looks like it might be close enough for me to get to if it is worth it.

The last show at the Dayton Armory was moved at last minute to the Legion Hall across from the library. 3 rows of tables, 2 aisles, and a waste of time and money. The promoter claimed that his lease of the National Guard Armory was cancelled as a general in Nashville decreed that no Armories in TN could be used for gun shows.

Taking him at his word, this show won't be held at the National Guard Armory either.

I'm guessing it will be at the Armory, and the promoter was misleading his customers and dealers when he moved the last show and made that spurious claim.

What kind of stuff were people selling at the last show?

[Guest Spuds]

Overpriced stuff, mostly. I did see a Turkish Mauser for cheap, but I didn't need another as I'm wanting to sell one.

On the good side, I don't recall seeing any beanie-babies or jerky.

[Guest Traumaslave]

I don't mind the jerky, it's the purses that get my goat.

I concur the K-town show the past weekend had a LOT of non-gun related items...... the gf liked it though

[Guest Rugerman]

Not a bad show at all today. Picked up a Ruger Mark II stainless.

You shoulda come out to PC and shot with us. We had a pretty decent selection of stuff. 3 ARs, two Mosins, WASR, Sig 556, Kimber SIS, two Sig P6s, XD40, P3AT, and my Savage 110.

We even wrapped up the day with a mini-Mad Minute at dusk. It was fun.

I know I know, I wish I could have. I had some other business things I had to take care of today.
