I’ll admit it, I went to shows to go look at different stuff.
The last actual gun show I went to was in Slidell, if I recall. I was in the market for an airweight and couldn’t find anything. The one guy selling S&W wheelguns had a 642 for $650. I laughed at him and walked off. There were many trinket vendors, Pakistan knife sellers, and the typical Chinesium AR sellers. The one optic dealer had 98% knockoff junk.

I went and had fun. I have to admit that it was nice having the tables as far apart as they were.
Picked up a nice Detroit Police marked Colt Official Police.

When wearing MOP gear for PT is a young Marine’s idea of fun, yes that is hardcore!

The issue is not hardship or difficulty, the issue is freedom of choice, just like I choose not to spend money at Starbucks or Target, I choose not to pay to enter an event that requires me to wear a mask.
I am curious as to how the promoter and Lamar Dixon handled the finances, way less dealers=less tables and from what I heard not that many paid entrances. I wonder if they based hall rental on attendance this first time.
I wonder what the future holds for shows.
For the last couple of years me and a couple of others were hitting shows every week or 2 weeks between here and Pensacola, we would go eat a good breakfast some where and then hit the show and then stop some where for a good lunch/dinner and also checkout local gun shops.

Hypothetically, if a business required its patron to carry a firearm, would you not enter because they are not giving you a choice? Or would you still go because their mandate allows you to protect yourself and others?

I suspect that's the case, or something very similar to it.
The alternative is that they generate zero revenue for ... a long time.

BC83 I was with you on this until yesterday!
A woman at Albertsons on Caffery picked up a piece of cake in a clear clamshell container, opened the container, stuck her finger in the icing, stuck her finger in her mouth, then wiped it on her shirt.
I don't want to touch the keypad in the checkout after she has gone through it.
After this experience, I'm all for requiring a mask if it will keep people's fingers out of their mouths!!!
LOL, I have actually sat in a hole in a desert complaining before while on deployment as a Marine! Imagine being under the stay at home order with no access to anything but water, MREs, and batteries!
We had all the sand and dirt we wanted as well, and we were glad to have it!
She was carrying it around, I'm assuming she bought it. I honestly don't know for sure.
