Today, I went to the local gun show. I ended up with a few knives, but also a bad impression from a lot of the sellers there. Out of the 11 I talked to, 8 were rude and just seemed to not care, the other 3 were amazingly helpful. One of the guys who was rude to me, actually was about to make a load of money off of me, but I was deterred by his attitude. Just my rant, anyone else have similar experiences at shows?
I attended the Roanoke Va. gun show today, i have never in my life saw such a line at the ticket counter. Was about 150 yds. long. and they had to open extra booths. There was a nervous excitement i have never before seen at a show. The guy beside me in line had a semi-auto pistol that he had bought from a fellow outside before he got into line. Dozens asked him how much he was selling it for, he replies not selling, just bought it.
Prices were not bad. I went just too find some milsurp ammo (7.5 swiss) but found none so bought a few 40 mm ammo boxes (18x10x6)for storing hunting gear and a milsurp manual for my No.4 enfield.
I am headed to a show in Chantilly,Va. in a couple of hours. Should be about 1000 tables. Yall need me to pick you up something?[:D]They have this show several times a year and it usually is crowded but I really love to go and see what is new. See yall there!!
Tim Garret's gun show this weekend at the Fairgrounds, Ft Smith, Arkansas. Don't think I will set up, just go look see. Maybe carry my newly finished BSA Martini in 25-20, to hear the dealers say "What do you have there?".
Went to the first gun show in a while, really depressed.
I was walking up found a cell phone, I walked in, there was a long line, I had the security use the intercom, if any one lost a cell phone, finally one g showed up, he was so happy, he should have paid my admission.
Is any one going to the Sacramento gun show on April 20-21.I so I have a couple of free tickets,just E-Mail me a postal address and I will post them on.
