OVMS RULES 
At the last meeting, the board of directors approved an updated set of rules by which govern what does (or does not) happen at OVMS Shows.  A great many of these can be summarized as "use common sense and be considerate", and that would be perfectly sufficient for 95% of participants.  However, some of these cover things that well-intentioned folks may not have considered, and others deal specifically with our renewed focus on trying to eliminate long lines at the big shows and make things run as smoothly as possible for everyone.  Please make sure you read these, especially if you are a dealer or table helper.  OVMS Rules
 
Also, please note - everyone participating in OVMS shows, whether as dealer, helper, or patron is REQUIRED to follow all federal, state, and local laws pertaining to regulated (post-1898) firearm transactions.  Military Collector Shows are not 'duty-free zones' where the rules somehow magically do not apply.  If you are not familiar with who can and who cannot sell or buy at the show, follow this link to the ATF Gun Show Guide.  OR, scan the QR code to the right with your mobile device so that you can save it there for handy reference.
