    Costa Mesa gun show oc fair????

    I have not been to a gun show since they were at Pomona! In the huge hangers!
    I know the CM gun show is not as big, but is it worth the time and money to Cruz down and check it out? I really don't want to buy beef jerky, and Ontario is a joke it so crowded!
    Thanks for any info

        Th only way to tell if it worth it is to show up, Its like going to a movie, do you really want to listen to a movie critic, what do they know!
        I never miss the Costa Mesa show.

          Depends on what you mean by "worth it". For me, I like hanging out at gun shows and looking at guns even if I am not buying anything. Gun shows are one of the last forums where gun owners can assemble en masse and exchange ideas and information.

          Although it is common knowledge that many prices cannot compete with retail or online marketplaces, there are still good deals to be had if you look hard enough. At the very least, you can come by and say hi to us volunteers at the Calguns booth!

              I too would go just to see whatever I can see, finding something to buy is a plus sometimes.

                "Guns" would imply that they had something other than AR's.

                    The Internet and CA laws killed the gun show.
                    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
                    (thanks to Jeff Cooper)

                      I saw a couple deals last show but low on funds. Got cash now and probably will not find a deal. Still good to check things out. Better than Onario if you ask me.

                        If you haven't been for a while ,go check it out, get a $10 beer, and enjoy yourself.

                          Used to be when magazine build kits were able to be sold it was worth going (for me).

                            All CA gun shows have been emasculated. The OC show is as good as it gets in SoCal, even if it is anemic.
