      For me a good excuse to get out of Honey Do's!
      I seldom buy anything at gun shows, always like to talk to an old timer who sales older reloading equipment at Paso Robles gun show, Dixie Tuck.

        Hey, CA gun shows are awesome. Where else can you get a sweet snip3r scope for $69? And buy funky coins from a really cranky old coot? Or pay $18 for a bad burger? Hard to pass up the custom Tazer stand...

        They aren't always bad. I scored a Geissele G2S trigger in Costa Mesa for $120. Made my day.

          Big Reno show at the Grand Sierra this weekend!
          Keep it simple!

            Free state guns shows are GREAT !
            Be sure to go.
            They are worth going to, but frankly after he first room of the last Big Reno sow, it was all repetitive. By repetitive i mean a bunch of stuff I can't buy without having to ship to an FFL and frankly the prices weren't all that hot. Everyone knew where to buy ammo but the rest of the show was just more of the same after a while.

            I disagree. If I lived in NV or AZ and could actually buy the things for sale I'd be ruined for CA shows. As a CA resident it got a bit tiresome. At least at the CA shows I can buy other stuff and my expectations are so low I'm often pleasantly surprised.

              Only one way to find out if it's worth it or not.

              You should just wait for the Costa Mesa show. Don't forget to buy a 15 dollar beer!

                I used to get toothpicks made from raccoon *ahem* bones and give them out to my friends. Do they still sell those?

                  I got a nice Rem 66 .22 from Dixie for a good price. He's a good old valley boy.

                    I want to do the Tulsa OK gun show. http://www.tulsaarmsshow.com/frames.html
                    It sounds like how the Pomona show used to be.

                      The costa mesa show is canceled this month. Theres a pro trump rally at the fair grounds on saturday. I heard on the news something about the people thought the anti trump people who are going to show up would go to the gun show and buy guns and start shooting.

                        Money spent ar a gun show is always better spent than on the haters in hollyweird.

                        There are some deals. Amyways, if nothing else, you get to see stuff in person.

                            Maybe instead all those stun guns could be put to good use. Dance, lefty, DANCE!

                              They moved the pro-Trump rally to Bolsa Chica Beach but the gun show and the wine show are still canceled. It would have been epic. Could you imagine guys with guns and alcohol vs the Antifa anti-Trump rioters.

                                Probably take advantage of that "gun show loophole" we always hear about, no doubt.
