Gotta haul oldest boy's gear out to the Daley Dump roughly 9-11. So the trip won't be a complete loss, any *good* gun shows that following weekend in WI - IL - MI - IN - OH - western PA? Would be looking primarily for old / exotic ammo. I'm going to do an on-line search, also, but conceivably some of you folks have some insights.

This is what I've found:

Kankakee Illinois: Kankakee Gun Collectors Assoc. - Kankakee County Fairgrounds

Grand Rapids Michigan: Sport Show Promotions LLC - Delta Plex

    I haven't been to the one in St. Cloud so I can't really comment on how good it will be.

    Though, I'm betting money that the one on the 28-29 is going to be really good!! At the fair grounds, close to hunting season!

    Thanks for the response, GL. Looking strictly at the weekend of the 14th & 15th, though.

    Try this link for Indiana:

    ALSO, there's a gun show Saturday and Sunday in Bluffton, Indiana, just a few miles south of Fort Wayne, on the 14th and 15th. As far as I know it's a new event so I can't tell you how big it will be, but they've been advertising quite a bit.

    I believe tHe one in St. Cloud was for that weekend.

    If possible, get your hands on a copy of gun list magazine. I can usually find them at barnes and noble book store. It'll have a pretty good list in the back.

    Kankakee is a nice little country show. This is one of those shows where it pays to hang around a little and see what Farmer Jones carries in the front door.

    Unfortunately, it is located in the Daley Dictatorship of Illinois, with its bizarre , ridiculous and highly restrictive gun laws. ( For example, as interpreted the last time I went to a 'noiser show,'noisers without a FOID (firearms owner id) could not even touch handguns, but any foreigners (out of state residents) could!)

    GL, thanks, but I'm headed east from the Daley Dump, not west. Minn is definitely going way out of the way.

    Red, thanks for your input! I'll try & dig up some more info on this one. I guess, as a 'foreigner,' I'll be able to touch the firearms even if I wouldn't buy one.
