I haven't been to a show since earlyer in the year. Holly crap what up with the prices, most stuff started around 600-700. Is there no cheap, reliable guns any more? Modern tech should beagle yo pump out some standard Fire arms.
Our local gunshow has become what I call the "Rolling Arms Museum" - same overpriced guns each time - the 'deals' are long gone. Prices on new guns same as local shops, prices on milsurps way higher than online sources. Ammo the same. Reloading gear in short supply and priced same as the shops. No reason to waste the entry fee, and put up with the crowd. Tired of walking by the hordes of beef jerky and cheap Chinese knives and decorator swords too.
Y'all left out the roaming BATF agents trying to find someone breaking an obscure rule so they can call in SWAT to abuse everyone present.
Ive seen 2 ATF hanging out at our local gas station because the cashier accidently sold a pac of cigeretts to someone under 18.
The last two we went to were a mixture of Antique Roadshow, Gats R Us, El Guapo Blades, and Beef Jerky Alley. Other than reloading equipment, which was all grossly overpriced, we didn't see anything of interest. I wanted another G21sf and a Mossberg 500. Only 1 of the former and none of the latter were to be found, and the Glock was $200 more than my usual dealer sells them for in his shop.
