    Gun Show Deals

    I have not been to a Gun Show since the "Madness" happened.... I wonder if they are even worth going to... Can you still get any decently priced ammo?.... Or are the shows carrying what this market is allowing, .80-1.00/per round on 556? Im planning on going to Del Mar show this weekend and can only imagine how the crowds will be

    I really hope this comes back to normal at some point, or ill have to get a new hobby..............

    I can imagine that five hours before the show opens there will be people camped outside, waiting to get in, just like it normally is outside of any Turner's store these days. Based on previous gun-show threads most stuff will be over priced and the only ones who will get any sort of kick out of the show will be people looking for that "thing" that no one else wants, and the people only shopping for beef jerky. How much does it cost to get in, anyway?


    I don't always save the world, but when I do, it's in 24 hours or less...

        "Gun Show Deals" is an oxymoron now more than ever.

        There stopped being good deals at gun shows long, long ago. The web is better than anything - cheaper, free shipping deals, more options, delivered right to your door. Gun shows have been crap for years. Unless you want garage sale merchandise, beef jerky, Rambo knifes, laser pointers and gun sellers so arrogant, they try to make you feel lucky they are there to sell to you.

          OP, the new hobby for the next 18 or more; that's the way to go. If you weren't gunned up with all the related paraphernalia by last Halloween, it's going to be expensive and frustrating.
