The Gun Show was Bed, Bath and Beyond

Were they Egyptian Cotton or Kevlar tactical bed sheets :p

I really do feel your pain though. The one thing I seem to find at local gunshows a lot is exotic ammo for a good price. I see a fair share of 357 SIG, 10MM, all sorts of rounds I did not even know existed. I am considering adding a 10MM 1911 to my collection later this year so I might just have to stop by one early summer or late spring to pick up some ammo.

Funny enough my LGS is sold out of the "brand name" of most semi auto pistol calibers, except for 10MM! They had a giant stack of 10MM that looked mostly overlooked/untouched.
 
Seems we won't have to worry about them closing the "gun show loophole" - we seem to be trying to get rid of the shows all together
 
I wonder if you could sell hand loaded ammo at
an arts & crafts show... after all.. it is handmade :o

HAM radio shows have been going down the tubes for years..

stand in huge lines, pay decent $$ to get it, to find arts & crafts,
\sheets, commie tools-flashlights-computer parts, etc.
I have thrown away better stuff :mad:
Last summer I actually bought an antique Revere-ware double boiler pot,
and a Foley Food Mill for a decent price, oh yes AND some radio tubes.

Why would the GUN shows be any different

hm. With the recent additions to sheets at gun shows, I feel like I would be better served by just walking around Linen and Things and putting that eight dollars towards my beer fund. The LadyFriend would appreciate that, too.

The last purchase I made at a gun show was a good Swiss Army Knife that was thin but still had a cork-screw.
 
A friend of mine went to a local gun show. He got there 30 minutes after the doors opened. He was at the end of a 200-300 person line waiting to get in. He left.

At the local Sheriff's Office over 100 people a day are trying to apply for a CHL.

Last weekend this same friend was at Cabela's purchasing a handgun. He was #128 in line for a background check. It took hours.

While at Cabela's he purchased a single box of .40 SW for $50. I told him he better go back and buy the other box before it was gone. He paid $100 for 100 rounds. Hardly enough to break in a new gun.
 
When there is no inventory of guns you can't expect many people to set-up at a gun show.

What TC were the sheets? I got a set of 1700 for $30 right before Christmas. A like deal at a gun show would have been my best luck at one yet.

I go to sell. Everytime I post things on Armslist I get tons of out of state people who want to deal with shipping and all that hassle. I'll pass.

I was at the Cabelas near Olympia WA several weeks ago, after many months of not stopping there.

Found, yes, a crowded gun counter. But what was interesting was the several computer terminals set up to fill out and, I guess, print the federal forms. So they were completed (by the purchaser) even before their number was called and the deal made. The rest of the form had to be completed at that point, of course.

I don't know if there was also a way to do early completion of the WA state form for pistol purchases.

Who knows that this post has nothing to do with the very good gunshows available to him every month.
