    experience with paso robles gun show?

    Ok if found the show i'm looking for, so instead of starting a new thread, i'm gonna edit this one all to hell. I may go to the paso gunshow on sunday, but before i make the 45 min drive i want to know if anyone on here has been and what there opinion is of it? thanks

    btw the previous question was about where to find a list of gunshows, just wanted to say that so the posters below me dont seem mentally inept!

        You will never, in your life, have a chance like this again.
        If I were you, I would not pass this up. I would not let this go by...this is rare.
        Come on...what harm??

            Went to one down there a couple of years ago. Like San Jose gun show, had lots of C&R stuff, but did score on some bullets & primers. There is a great hambuger joint across from the Fairgounds, killer burgers & onion rings!

              Went to the Paso show earlier this year. Its a small show, just barely fills one of the exhibit buildings. There was a smattering of all kinds of stuff. A lot of used rifles and shotguns, some handguns, couple of vendors with cases & crap, Mi-Wall is usually there with a good selection of ammo. They had primers last time at a reasonable for the times price. I think they put a 3 - 5k limit on their primers. No super deals that I found. Lots of overpriced guns. I'm going this morning, but am only 15 minutes away. If nothing else, its a decent couple hours of entertainment for the $8.00 (I think) entry fee.

                  Just got back from it like 10 minutes ago. I rarely go to gunshows , so I thought this one was pretty cool. Two big ammo booths , lots of other stuff , atleast one table dedicated to C*R's , im sure theres more , that just the one i saw. Safes , uppers , pretty much everything. The building is like 300' x 150' or so. they had quite alot of stuff packed into there. $9 to enter , free for kids under 13. We walked out of there with 4k of assorted ammunition. Might go back tommorow and look around more. we were there just for ammo today , had other stuff to do. pack your rain gear. It was like a 30 minute drive for me.

                  Also , tell the wife/gf your going to go get a christmas tree , because right across the street , in the parking lot is a christmas tree place. Nice excuse to go buy gun stuff. Kill two birds with one stone

                    I'm thinking he meant Good 'Ol Burgers. That place puts Bubba's to shame when it comes to burgers.

                      I went today. Got a good deal on 9mm. Lots of c&r type stuff. Saw a few uppers. Lots of hunting rifles. Very crowded. Hit up thw atascadero arms table. They will take care of you.

                        Both are under the same ownership and both are pretty good if you ask me.

There's no possible way that CGN members marching alongside the Pink Pistols in the SF Pride Parade can do anything to dispel the stereotype that gun owners are conservative bigots clinging to their guns and bibles. Not a single person in the crowd is rational or reachable because the parade's for gay folks and it's in SF.
