      I wanted to "Dress up" for gold rush days but have been unable to find out how to sign up to do so. Where does one check in, etc. What exactly are the rules on firearms? I saw a lot of what appeared to be live ammo on belts that also included firearms, yet was told that was forbidden. I saw a lot of different time periods, but have been told Gold Rush days are only 1949-1870. There were a lot of cartridge, (after 1873) type firearms. I am just trying to get a consistant answer and want to know how to sign up for next year, what exactly I can or can not wear and if there is a way to join up with a few other folks before hand. My prefered era of dress is about 1875. Collapse
