    There's a gun show again this weekend in Kenner. There was one last weekend last weekend in Gonzales and I intended to go but ended up not. Tomorrow(Saturday)is a busy day as I have to cook red beans for a fundraiser on Monday but I might try to squeeze in going Sunday morning.

    Is it me or do they just not advertise gun shows like they used to???

    Same here in MS. They used to run tons of tv and radio ads now you have to look for the lawn signs and occasionally a billboard. It’s like they just vanished over night. At least the ads did.

    I do still hear radio ads for the Kenner show all the time and see billboards for Kenner, Slidell, etc. around the metro area. But, you're right, not nearly as much as a few years back.

    Fill in the card for free gift you get when you pay to get in and fill in your e-mail address---you will get info on all area gun shows and a few others.
    No wondering when.

    Signs, billboards, and radio advertisements cause people to be triggered and incite public fear. People falling off bikes, running off the road when seeing and hearing about legal guns for sale. We must do something.....it’s for the children.

    They advertise the crap out of them. I just think they have them too often and we become numb to the advertising for them and don't look out for them when they used to be only every 4-6 months.

    They definitely do not advertise like get used to. Dang I miss Heather telling me sure as shooting she’d probably see me there...
    Anybody remember Heather?

    I don’t think I’ve been to a gun show this century.

    I go to one or two gun shows per year, mostly because I know it pisses off the Clintons and Beto.

    That said, I see less and less of interest. For modern guns I can usually do better online, and the selection of interesting old guns seems to thin as more collectors turn to sites like GunBroker.

    Used to be that you could go to a gun show and find dealers selling neat old police duty guns, all sorts of antiques, etc. Not anymore.

    Of course, I can still rely on someone selling beef jerky at a gun show. Some things never change.

    I remember when pretty much everything at the gun show was bottom line priced.

    Now they try to jack up the price 10-15%

    So True xobelkcat...so true. I stopped going to them for this reason. I understand making a profit, but I can find deals on bayoushooter.com without the cover charge...:D

    I miss the L&S Ammo both and fairly priced new/used firearms from multiple vendors.

    Where is the Carencro show? Went to the last CAPshow and was decidedly under whelmed. Had a new unfired MkIII RUger to sell and The offers were positively insulting.
