Oct 25,26 at Cal Expo, McMann Roadrunner, usually those people from West Covina.
I'll be there, the FFL Sonsma firearms ( just 3 min away from my house) was there last time.

[leitung]

The guys from Somoma Firearms are gonna be there, thats whats gets me to go, other that that I go for the shirts, stickers, and ammo.

[Rudolf the Red]

Ah, the good old days....

When I had my first FFL in 1992, the Sac Gun Show was a sight to behold. Tables of just Colt 1911's, Luger historians, HK sub guns, revolvers of every type, AR-15 upper dealers, SAA mecca, and all the little dealers with tables o' handguns for sale.

Now, it's just a couple guys selling average guns you can buy anywhere, jewelry, jerky, nazi memorabilla, crap optics, old surplus, expensive knives, and junk. I guess one could get a good deal on ammo there but after admission and gas, is it a good deal anymore?

I guess I am just bitter because CA pisses me off.

No you ain't bitter. It's a Fact for us gun owners in kommifornia

[CCRBUM]

I hear ya.. I moved out here from Kentucky...I use to LOVE the gun shows out there..anything and everything for sale :-)... good deals too... cash and carry... but if I can at least get a good deal on some ammo I guess it'll work! My wafe's cousin who is 11 or 12 wants to go with me so it'll be his first gun show.. should be fun :-)... is cold war shooters ever at the SAC gun show?

[Darklyte27]

I went to 2 shows in Sac a year ago. they were nice. pricey guns, miwall ammo and ammo cans. thats about it. It is a bit bigger than vallejo shows.

Whats the going rate for ammo cans at the shows these days? I haven't been to the Sacto show for a while, but I'm in need of a bunch of cans... seeing if its worth the trip down, or if I can hold out for a trip to the Army surplus store next time I'm in the Arden area..

[Darklyte27]

I bought some cans at the vallejo show a month or two ago, they were 7$? for a 50 cal box. The guy had a combo where you got a Fat 50 cal box, a small 50 cal and a 30 cal box for 20$ if i remember correctly..

Free admission for 12 and under, my 2 kids will go too.

[jksupplyco]

... is cold war shooters ever at the SAC gun show?

Not to my knowledge... I think the SJ show, and CowPalace are their first ventures up to the great "north"

[CCRBUM]

hey Thanks for that info tiko!.. can some one tell me the standing position on trading or selling C&R guns at a gun show here in Cali?

[packnrat]

the doj and sac police take a video of everybody going in and coming out...they want to know who is buying what.:eek:

the cams are off a bit so you can not see them. and it is under the guise of security.:confused:

:TFH:

I was just thinking the same thing. I remember it being TWO full halls of tables. ::sigh::

[JayDeeSacramento]

I'll be there buying cheap ammo and old holsters I'll never use.

[shirow]

There are coupons for like $1 off admission in the paper, correct?

[762cavalier]

I'll be working the NRA booth out front sat. afternoon and probably All day Sunday. stop by and say high (and renew your membership if you need to. Gets you into the show for free.;))

[dark45]

how much is it for parking (if i feel lazy) and how much is it to get in? i havn't been there in a LONG time and i live in sacramento. i just hear things about it that make me feel like not going.

[JASON82]

I know its mildly off topic but does anyone remember when they used to have gun shows at the placer county fair grounds? I remember going as a kid and it seemed like they had quite a variety of different things.

Oh i had no idea, i hadnt heard anything about there being a show in a while. maybe i just don pay enough attention.

I'm actually not a member and I think I'll sign up at the show. I've been meaning to do it for years.

[azn1stknightsoul]

For those wondering, parking is $8. Not sure how much admission is though.

[packnrat]

lets see
$8.00 parking.
$10.00 entry fee. or spend $25 to the nra and get in "free"? looks like a loss of $15.00.:chris:
$20.00 food. (hot dog and small soda).
$7.00 jerky.
$3.00 second soda.
$50.00 fuel.
dents in the side of your truck free.

egad $100.00 and i have not bought anything yet:eek::eek::eek:

and the "show" is less than 1/4 of what it used to be (size wise) now it is mostly junk stuff.

Send me a pm if you guys need any help with the booths. And when is this show? I didn't see it in the thread anywhere. I just got to Oregon, man that was a long drive in the work truck.

Think we have the booths covered. The general consensus is that you need to show up at one of the regular MC meetings before they will let you work the booth. The show is Oct. 25 and 26

I'll bet the drive sucked. And you still have lots of work in front of you.:p:D

Take it easy up there.

I'm going to come to the next meeting, work permitting. Last Wednesday of the month right? We got up here and had a meeting with my boss who flew up this morning and he is all gung hoe. But the good news is I will get the promotion I have been pushing for in the next month or two and a sizable raise.
