    Ok, not sure where to post this question, so if it needs to be moved please help me.

    There is a Gun show coming up early Feb, I have been to gun shows just never any in this area.... yet. Are they worth going to? are they over priced or just junk? Are they worth a look? What have yall found to be the case?

    I am only looking for AR add-on's for now (light, laser, scope mount, multi tool for next build ect). So I won't be spending any big bucks, just small add ons.

    If not worth going, may just look here for a while. Would rather help a member anyway.

    Thanks

    Then buy it anywhere else for less.

    I had my curiousity about the gun shows, so I went, twice. I honestly didn't find anything special. Only thing that came out of it was I had some issues with some mags, and I was able to try a few different ones before buying a dozen that wouldn't work.

    Some shows are better than others, the problem , is that the entrance price is now 8 dollars whereas it used to be 5, I go mainly to look at the knives and swop ideas with the makers.

    dang at 8 bucks a head I am looking at over half a bill for my family.... big deterring fact for me... maybe I should stick to ftf or local gun store :draw:

    I like getting my kids involved into shooting and supporting the 2nd Amendment and respecting what a side arm will do. Looks like I am better off spending money at retail and buying more ammo for kids to shoot up..... Not a bad thing :D

    the one I attended at that venue was well attended. Parking was non-existent and the interior of the building was very crowded. I prefer Blackham or the Boustany center

    I prefer to "shop" at the gunshows, and I also get a giggle out of hearing all the crap people spew while I'm there, but I won't buy anything there unless it is a rediculous deal or something that just happens to catch my eye at a fair price.
