So, how are these gun shows?

Went to a few of them, but Haven’t been to one since before the china flu.  Every time I went I felt cheated out of my $8 and the two hours it took me to get there, walk through, and get back home.  Parking is also $$ unless you park a couple blocks away and walk.  

Prices were on the high end of retail and selection was generally poor.  The internet has made gun shows a sad shadow of what they were when I was a kid.

Last one I went to was about 1/2 the size it normally was.

It was mid summer though so that may have had something to do with it.

Copy all.  Even still, I have this odd desire to go.  Maybe it’s nostalgia.  Opinion - the availability of info and access to unique stuff and stuff you are interested on the internet have reduced the desire/value for many.  The constant “crises” and “I know what I got” also lowers the value.  We need fudds and others to make shows great again.  [Wait, are those three fingers point back at me?]

Of course, I wonder if they will even have it with the weather.

Have been to a dozen or more of them but not in the last several years. Internet has ruined them plus the dealers have early morning 1 hour without customers before the show opens. They work out deals/trades with each other and adjust up prices to keep it all inflated. Buddy of mine would get a table just for the opening session then leave. And with this weather I doubt much will be going on anyway.

Thanks.  Not surprising.  

I guess my disappointment will have to wait for a few months.
