In cooperation with Kansas City authorities and following the city’s declaration of a State of Emergency for an initial period of 21 days, we are postponing the USCCA’s 2020 Expo until a later date. All ticket sales and vendor booths are still valid for this later event, and we will also be reaching out to all our ticket holders and partners with additional details shortly.
Ensuring the health and safety of our visitors, exhibitors and staff at the USCCA Expo has always been our top priority, and we’ve been closely following the guidelines set forward by the city. We will continue to do so as we determine a later date to host the event.
Just a note, the main site Concealed Carry Expo page does not mention it being postponed, it is only mentioned in the FAQ section. It may help stem confusion if the main expo page noted it has been postponed.
Really bummed, I was very much looking forward to it.
I actually think you’ll get a better turnout by postponing until all of this is behind us. Hoping I’ll be able to make the new dates (just don’t do it the last week of June, that’s Scout Summer camp! )
Good move. I canceled a weekend trip to a gun show in Springfield Missouri a few days ago. Now they just confirmed a Covid-19 case in the Springfield area.
We definitely were not expecting this to happen when we set up the Expo dates! We want everyone to be safe and protect their families as much as possible.
Dawn I sure don’t envy your position here and having to bring us this news. I will point out that at the urging of local communities it becomes a must to follow what they see fit for their constituents. It is a feather in the cap of all concealed carriers that we show how we support communities decisions and wishes with grace and understanding. I personally still believe that the scare has gone too far but to pitch a bitch would shine a poor lite on our cause and position. I will definitely attempt to attend the rescheduled event. May god comfort all who are living in fear and bless those we are fearful for! Hope I’m right and this too shall pass.
I, personally, am surprised with how people are reacting to it all. I needed a few things from the grocery store on my way home, and there was no toilet paper to be found in the store.
The NBA, NCAA and MLB are all canceling or seriously altering their schedules and venues. UW Milwaukee is going completely online for the rest of the semester.
People with more knowledge about the details are making the decisions. I hope the precautions work.
This is a good thing,surely we don’t want anyone sick,and this kind of exposure is not what any of us need,I was going to ask this morning about this event being canceled,and here it is
Dawn, I will cancel my room today and be looking for a New date for this!!!
Thanks for doing this,I think it is a smart move right now
