It is a decent size show, but I have never found many bargains.

There can be some there. You have to really look.

Mostly junk. Not worth the entry fee.

Gun shows are like boxes of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
I've stumbled around guns shows muttering " How lame" until turning down an aisle for the 3rd time and ....... there it is, the gun of guns, the deal of deals. You just never know. Often it's the the other attendees who may have a gem you're seeking, sometimes at a good price.

I've pretty much quit going to the E'ville gun shows. Haven't been in a few years. Always look forward to going to the Louisville gun shows though.

My question to you folks is: Am I going to see lines of people all the way to Indy to get into this show?

Is the buying frenzy so bad that there will be no sensibly priced items to buy?
Is the persecution of us (the gun enthusiast/hobbyist) ever going to stop?

I’m be there anyway, worst I can do is turn around and go shooting! At safe targets of course!!!

Thanks

The show at the armory nis usually the same dealers the same guns! I do not expect to see any deals there as the last gun show the prices started to get higher. It will be interesting if the individuals selling private collections will be there!

So we went

Just thought I’d let everyone know. Nice show, but in my view small. There were plenty of items for sale and I’d say prices appeared fair (cough by todays standards). Since the madness started, it’s taken a lot of the fun out of our hobby. If I were to compare the show to Crown Point or the Valpo Dunes Rifle club show, I’d say it is on par, but just a lot smaller!

I am tired of not being able to get ammo, or reloading components.

So I guess we can have all the guns we want, but nothing to shoot them with.



write your officials and complain.
Thanks all
