Wheelchairs at the gun show?

[AstonMiura]

Do they provide wheelchairs at the gun show?My 72yr old father had triple bypass surgery and can't walk very long.

I can't recall ever seeing that. I've seen people in their own powered scooters, but not wheelchairs provided by the venue. Although I can't claim I was paying attention for whether such existed, either.

I've seen several wheelchairs at Goodwill, maybe you should invest in one. Expecting others to provide for your problems is rude.


Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

most of the medical supply joints will rent one, but if one thinks it may be of use, they are for sale all over, offer up, craigslist, i know buying one is a bummer, but these days rare with exception at airport or some community based locations do they offer that assistance.
best to fend for ones self, pay the piper and be comfortable in knowing one does not have to rely on others for the success of a family moment

Thanks, we will check out Goodwill

There's wheelchairs and there's wheeled assist chairs, the assist chairs are cheaper and require a person to push it around, the other can be manipulated by the person sitting in it by hand.
When my MIL couldn't get around on her own we got an assist chair (not sure if that's what they're called) and when she was done we used it with my Dad, they are lighter and easier to tote around.
The assist chairs look like a regular wheelchair but they have 4 small wheels.

I read your question and considered it legitimate. A lot of public venues DO provide wheeled assistance to their patrons. A conserved person would have the same question before taking alternative methods of acquiring a somewhat expense item. It was an honest question and met by a couple of our resident downers with uncalled for criticism. As always, consider the sources. One should be able to ask a question on this forum without the automatic down talk.

It was a legitimate question. My father had triple bypass surgery a month ago and is finally wanting to get out. We went and just took a lot of breaks.

I echo this sentiment.

How did it go? Did you buy a wheelchair, or was one provided? Were you able to negotiate the aisles? Did your father enjoy his outing, and is his condition improving?

I'll echo this as well. Just ignore the guy who feels the need to spin a simple question into a political statement. If you were asking about welfare programs that provide wheelchairs I'd be closer to the other person's sentiment - but asking if an event provides something for their patrons is not the same thing.

My gawd, some of you people have become friggin' democrats.

Look, first thing I thought of was "wow, Google has the number listed", and yet not one of you suggested he/she call and find out. My response was to maybe push him/her to use his/her noggin and do a little research.

Look, here it is, for all to see.

For those who think I'm mean, I am, suck it up buttercup, maybe urge folks to do their own research before asking for help with the obvious. Now, had he asked where he could get a wheelchair, I would've offered a few more suggestions.

Good grief - you are cranky and quick to mis-read, my friend...

Democrats want the gubbermunt to pay for things for people - he asked nothing of the sort. He was asking if the private event operator provided something as a part of it's offering to its customers. This is not at all the same thing. Frankly - he's being a bit of a consumer - and he's looking for information about the product offering - so he's reaching out to a group that he believes has a bunch of experience with the vendor in question - looking for their experience. Sure - he could have called them directly. He could also ask a friendly group of folks who might have info - you know - a "forum." No clue how you read that as "[e]xpecting others to provide for your problems" unless he edited his post and was looking for free tickets, etc.

Could he have looked up their number and called them? Sure.
Could you have either shared some useful information, or just scrolled by? Sure

But you chose to make a statement deriding him and calling him rude. So for what's its worth - to me at least - you did come across as a bit of a bitter jerk (or maybe "angry old curmudgeon" would be the better term)... just sayin...

Have a great rest of your day...

Peace...

There’s mean, and then there’s being an obnoxious a hole, not everything has to be a chance to show your preferred choice.
Enough already.
