    I guess nobody lives close enough to go. Are there any members who will have tables there?

    Ill show up on saturday. There hasnt been many jax shows in a while so maybe this one will be good. Most of the time the show at prime osburn has too much flea market stuff.

    If you see me say Hello. I'll be wearing a black polo shirt with a red Ruger emblem on the front, also a tan Ruger hat.

    It is so nice to be overlooked. Just came in from the road around midnight, and plan on making the show at least for an hour or two. Look for me, I'm the good looking one walking around like I know what I am looking at...

    ...But really have no clue to what I am really looking at. Enjoyed the show, what I got to see of it. Got there late, and didn't get to see it all, much less get to talk to very many people.Didn't see too many people buying, but never do pay too much attention to that sort of thing. Friend walked around with one of those Dale Earnhart guns trying to generate a little interest.Sometimes I think he would rather talk about them than to actually sell one...(lol) I guess he would sell a few of them if somebody really pressed him into it. Hope everybody made money at it.

    I was there for 4 hours. All the purveyors were complaining about not selling any guns, although I saw a lot go out the door. It seemed to me from overhearing a lot of conversations that nobody wanted to buy for two reasons: #1 most sellers had attitudes (which I heard many times). #2 most every gun and accessories were selling for retail.Example #1 Kel-Tec 32 $299. #2 Boresnakes $19.95 #3 Hi-Points $269. #4 Rom. AK-47 $449. and Up. This Show is run by Atlantic Show Promotions and advertised 250 tables.I know other shows are better than this, I just have to travel to get to them.

    I got there when the door opened at 9:00. This show location just doesnt seem to be as good as the fairgrounds show or the one at the Morocco. However, I did see a Mac90 w/ mags sell cheap around 9:15. I guess the guns at decent prices go fast. I agree that most dealers were too high, the few that actually had guns for sale.

    Morocco Shrine Gun Show will be held in two weeks. Most dealers I spoke with said they would be there and it would be a better gun show than Prime Osborn, but they also said the Prime Osborn Gun Show is usually better than what it was this time.

    I`ve done most of the shows,by most of the promoters in the state,as a private seller,and also with the shop I work for.I am afraid the Atlantic Shows (promoter)are not one of the best,they don`t advertise well.We will be at the Palmetto show,south of Tampa.I am with Century Arms Of Naples,hope to see you there!!The best promoter in the state is: www.suncoastgunshows.com
