WHAT!?!?!
No Vallejo Code of the West shows?

http://www.gunshows-usa.com/california.htm

This makes me

[groovielou]

Can we possibly conjure up a list of Nevada shows? I would be more than willing to make a trip out of a big gun show in Nevada.

Thanks,
Lou

I hate to see a grown man cry.

I found their website and added two shows in Vallejo. Their schedule only goes through June, so maybe you'll get a couple more.

If you get a line on a good gun show in Southern Nevada please let me know. The only ones I know of are:

[groovielou]

any gun show in Nevada has to beat the pants off anything here.....

Lou

[pidooma]

There are TS gun shows too ( http://www.tsgunshows.com/ ) but they don't have their 2009 calendar up on their website yet.

If you're going to add some Nevada shows to the list, then there is the Big Reno Show: http://www.bigrenoshow.com/

[Cecy]

Can you add Raahauges to the List? It's in Corona, Ca on June 5, 6 and 7. I went last summer and it was a lot of fun. (Very hot though)

[plm61]

Done

Added.

do yourself a favor and cross off the crossroads of the west gun shows. Total waste of time compared to what they were the last time I went 8 years ago.

[Chemtchr]

The best gun show I've been to since Pomona in the 1980's was the SAR show in Phoenix last month. Awesome number of vendors, tons of guns, ammo and accessories. A tank of diesel and a cheap hotel and you've got three days of fun.

[REDHORSE]

I agree. SAR show in Phoenix is the one to go to.

I went to a Las Vegas show and was less than impressed, don't recall who was the sponsor though.

[What Just Happened?]

Thx for the heads up. Seems like the Costa Mesa shows are about 2 months apart. I'll have to stock up on reloading supplies then.

But doesn't that leave us with NOTHING since Crossroads is the best show in Cali (particularly the CM one)?
