    Well, it IS a long walk.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    If you were hitchhiking with that big * cannon I don't think I would pick you up either. :o  Bob

    I was at the Yuma show yesterday. Wish I knew you were there? Would have bought you a cup of coffee, at least.
    The attendance was way down from the usual, although I did OK. Way more empty tables, and the usual tire kickers, that are normally blocking the aisles. 
    I guess this corona panic, has scared off a lot of the regulars.  I've been going to gun shows, for 50+ years. To long in the tooth, to be missing one now.

    rufe-snow,
    The local gun shows were prevalent and frequent in South Georgia and the surrounding southern states. But I didn't have the time to visit many... Here, there is a broad selection of locations but the shows seem to be winding down in interest based on the attendance numbers. I attribute this to higher prices of merchandise present (fewer deals) at the shows and the promoter's need to fill tables with unrelated products. There is a small show over in the Camp Verde area (not CV) which is still well attended and has an excellent selection of firearms and related associated materials, ammunition components, accessories, etc. I haven't been for a while but I will try this year. The one in Wickenburg is a favorite and seemingly well run for excellent LOCAL attendance:

    October 17-18, 2020 Wickenburg Gun Show

    "If you were hitchhiking with that big * cannon".............I 'cut up' a bunch of these in 'Nam, (shot out tubes)
    "    I was at the Yuma show yesterday.".........sorry I missed you, I did buy a pistol scope (Osprey) and a sav. m-99 (.30/30 t.d.; no wood)
    it was a 200 mile trip (1 way) for us but I've never been to Yuma (should have taken the 3:10   ;-)  )

    You should have stopped by Fort Sill and visited 'Atomic Annie'
