So there is a gun show coming in March, and I was wondering if it's better to go on the first day in the early morning vs the second day in the early morning. Are all of the deals usually on the first day?

Won't be anything left to buy after noon on Saturday. It was that way 20 years ago, anything popular was gone. Miwall was about the only one that brought enough to be in stock into Sunday. But even they would be picked over by Sunday. -
I'm only asking because I've never been to a gun show before and they are having one in San Diego in March. I know not to expect too much, but there might be ammo or reloading products I may find.Comment

It's an unfortunate time to be going to your first gun show! Even in 'normal' times the SD gun show is pretty packed and the lines for reloading supplies and ammo are long. I'm guessing that this time you'll have to get in line around 6AM to stand a real chance of getting anything.
For ammo, just track gunbot.net and you'll find something.Comment

Last 2 Costa Mesa shows were crazy croweded...IIRC 11000 in November 2012 and twice that in January."Bruen, the Bruen opinion, I believe, discarded the intermediate scrutiny test that I also thought was not very useful; and has, instead, replaced it with a text history and tradition test."

Passes up a 98 Mauser once for $200. The guy had a dozen of them at that price. Came back 1/2 hour later to pick one up. They were gone. Go early.It doesn't matter how scary, ugly, uncomfortable, or inconvenient self defense can be. Like it or not, you will never, ever be relieved of your duty and responsibility to defend your life, your family, your country and your freedom.
How much ammo do I need? Enough to last me the rest of my life, and then lot more for later.

You are going to have to go early Saturday to get anything worth going for. Ammo and anything AR/AK will be gone early.Comment
