12,000 attendees is a large event for the Australian gun culture. Remember, Australia's population is only 1/14th that of the United States.

SHOT show is supposed to be only for people 'in the business.' It's not open to the public, so the attendance numbers between the US SHOT show and the SSAA SHOT show are not comparable.

Too bad there aren’t any guns there.

You should visit France next. Despite the notion that there are no firearms rights in Europe outside of CH, I knew that France had more liberal ideas on gun ownership than many of their neighbors.

But nothing prepared me for seeing a pretty impressive gun store *inside* Paris itself not far from major tourist sites.

Cork Ireland was another stop where I found a gun store I didn’t expect along with items I was sure were prohibited to the citizens there.

So you were fully vetted then fully vested. Nice. Good to see you out and traveling. With all the writing and blogging you do I had imagined you always behind a keyboard or firing line.
Dean, thanks for what you do, helping keep the world informed.
