Im going to my first gun show, the Ontario Crossroads gun show, and I'm wondering what to expect. If i choose to buy a gun, whats the process?

God, Guns & Freedom is all you need -
Last time I was at a gun show it is essentially the same as buying online. Ship to FFL pay all of the fees etc. If the price is good then why not, otherwise just order it online. Others probably have more knowledge than me though"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, then are dreamt of in your philosophy"

Unless you have a C&R and COE and you are looking at a C&R gun"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, then are dreamt of in your philosophy"

He did not say he was coming from out of state his bio shows temecula. Buy the firearm. There are dealers at show do the dros there and pickup in 10 days at ffl. If handgun you will have to pass test and get handgun safety card. Good luck at show if you want a deal go the last couple hours on sunday and the prices come down as they want to make sales.Comment

Shows are such a zoo! The tables with any decent guns have a swarm of jerkoffs around it.
Better off shop hopping around town. Even just to touch and feel, then shop online.Comment

Gun shows suck. I tried the Ontario one with my dad a few months back. It was nothing like I expected. Too expensive to get in and too much junk. Most of the crap being sold is plastic toys and other random junk. The ammo line was around the building and it was all overpriced...when will people learn to BUY ONLINE?!?!?Comment

If you've never been then you'll have a great time as you have no preconceived notions of the gun show.
Go, and have a great time..........for your second show go to Nevada, your experience will be greatly enhanced.
After those you'll probably not go to many afterwords, or maybe you will Idk.
Do bring cash, it's king at the shows, IMO...Comment

I love gun shows, the alternative is mowing the lawn or doing Honey do lists...
Think of it, for a couple of hours you get to fondle Firearms, Angle for Ammo and Gab with Gunners...what could be better!
I have got GREAT deals at Gun shows, on everything you can imagine. It helps to know your prices up front, have a idea what you are looking for and Check out EVERY table...TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

^^^This. A few hours spent checking out lots of guns and hanging with fellow gun enthusiasts is a great way to spend a weekend day. Enjoy yourself, and have a great time!I love gun shows, the alternative is mowing the lawn or doing Honey do lists...

I find that when I go with friends to spend an afternoon, I have a great time. If I go alone to find a great deal, I come home disappointed having wasted a day and money. I never find anything at a gun show that makes me feel like I have saved money. I just go to spend the day. Kind of like going to the fair, walk around all day and spend too much money for stuff.Negativity is hard to counteract. Stupidity is even harder. - Tim SchmidtComment

Make sure to have a $12 cup of beer. And trust me, eat before and/or after you arrive. Bring a snack and water.Comment
