I try to attend every Gun Show held in my local area. I consider Tipton, Kokomo, Lafayette, Lebanon "local" shows as well as some popup shows in other cities within 30-40 mile of Frankfort. In January 2017 there was not a Gun Show in any of these venues.
Come February 4th, there are three on the same dates, Tipton, Lafayette and Lebanon!
This seems ridiculous to me. Surely the show sponsors could know or find out when competitors are scheduling their shows. The fact they are scheduling on the same dates dilutes the offerings at each show as I am sure some vendors will have to choose which venue they will attend. It also means people like me will miss at least one show and quite possibly some items I would purchase. My son and I normally purchase between $200 to $500 at most shows we attend so at least one show will miss out on sales. As his normal work week includes every Saturday, he will be able to attend only one of the three shows.
