    Sorry but the answwer to your question is... it depends. Usually NO. Most of the larger dealers do take cards but to say they all do would be wrong.Taking cash allows you to bargain somewhat and is universally accepted. Put some in each pocket.

    It will be better to take cash. Many vendors will not take credit cards.

    I would certainly advise taking cash. You can barter with not all, but many gunshow vendors. And cash is the way to do it.

    "In God we trust.... All others pay cash"

    First saw that at a funshow, along with

    "Got a gun for my wife... good trade"

    I think more do than dont. But I would just use a check,or bring cash. make sure you know what you want and research the prices. Those little devils selling guns will run you out of house and home if your not smart

    Please tell me the Jennings is going into the safe for storage? No matter how it blows as a firearm it did belong to his grandfather.
    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly
