Is it any better than the Cal Expo Gun Show? Worth going to?
Can Californians buy anything there?

I worked at the Reno Hilton back in the 90,s where we would have sit down dinners for 10,000 people at one time. That is the same room that they hold the gun show in plus the they also use the silver ballroom as well. So the answer to your question is YES! it is worth the drive. I go to atleast one to two shows a year I will be there on Friday. I stoped going to the CalExpo show years ago. -
In the mid-2000's (2004-2006), the CA DOJ conducted surveillance at the Reno show to catch CA residents buying > 10 round magazines out of state.

Not a big fan of scribd. In firefox I can only read the first 4 pages, which for a pleading means you see nothing. With IE I get the first 16 pages, which is more helpful but still frustrating.
Even though the deposition incorrectly identifies that these were being purchased illegally, I thought it was the importation that was illegal, not the out of state purchasing. If the magazines were broken down to rebuild kits before coming into the state there would be no broken laws.
Or did I miss something because of my limited access to the document?

The Reno Big Show is an excellent show. There's more to see and have fun with than worring about a few magazines.
Lots to see and learn. Go for it.***Honesty is the Foundation of One's Character***

It is worth it...I used to go when it was the MGM and the Shotgun News show
We used to go on Sunday, when they'd have to decide what they didn't want to pack back in the car. Then we'd stop in Boomtown on the way back to make back the money I'd spent and get a comp'd meal...because the journey is the worthier part...The Shepherd's TaleComment

That has always been their rule: No Loaded Magazines...because the journey is the worthier part...The Shepherd's TaleComment

It means you can't have loaded magazines with you. Not that you can't buy or sell magazines.Comment

If you have a C&R it is as close to gun heaven as you might find on this coast.
I have been several times, and I have never regretted the trip. Even the time it took me 7 hours to get back to S.F. was still worth it for the really nice S&W M&P (C&R) I picked up.
MickeyD has it right - lots to learn, lots to see, and it's a little bit of history that slips a little farther away with every tax-free internet sale...

So by reading that I'm assuming I can't CCW to the show, even though I have a NV CCW permit. Or is this just a rule for the vendors?will they have magazines for sale?
