        I fired them (Crossroads of the West Gunshows) last summer after Big Tony who works for Crossroads decided to lie to me and then double-down on his lie. Sorry, I appreciate and want to support the vendors, I can't in good faith support a company that has employees who lie to my face and when called out on it threaten to kick me out.

              Is this a sharable backstory? Just curious.

                Absolutely!


                Reader's Digest version; Crossroads employee lied, then doubled down on the lie with attitude. Sorry... I don't support businesses that lie.

                  Sounds like you had an "AMMO BROS" experience.

                    I go with my Dad or Cousins about twice a year... we go just for fun and don't expect to find any deals of a lifetime. It's a good Saturday morning being able to drink beer (yes they sell beer) and look at guns for 4 hours. Just go and have fun.

                      I stopped going. Just too damn expensive. After paying for parking and entrance that negates any "savings" you might find on ammo.

                        Waste of time and money.

                          This one was worst I've ever seen. I still want to support it but I don't know. The amount of empty tables and empty spaces was shocking let alone the non gun vendors. I have a feeling may not last another year or two.

                            Here's my thought. I, too, go there time to time, not all the time. Basically, because I get frustrated like most of you gentlemen. Sometimes I feel like I am a flee market with all the junks they bring with.

                            But, still, we need to support the show by attending with huge numbers in order to maintain the show. Otherwise, I am afraid these shows will eventually fade away. With decreasing supporters lesser vendors will show up and venue will not host anymore.

                            What can I say. It's time that we, as consumers, should make the show interesting and profitable. Then we will see.

                              ^^ This ^^ and there are no deals on firearms or parts that I can't find other places that don't charge me an entrance fee.
