I wanted to bring the boy and look around. Maybe buy some ammo. I am sure its overpriced. Or a stripped lower. Except my wallet will be the only thing stripped.
There's always the cinnamon toasted nut guy.
This was the first gun show I've been to in over 5 years and I was extremely disappointed. There was only ONE ammo booth (so many people piled around it, you couldn't even see the tables), an over-proportionally high number of knife vendors (especially when you consider that the biggest draw for these shows is "firearms"), and an utter lack and diversity of firearm accessories (unless of course, you were trying to outfit your newly purchased, way-over-priced AR-15).
They are doing their best. Ammo was available if you were willing to pay the high prices. Plenty of ARs and one guy was there all day trying to selll his for $1,800. I did see a few reasonable deals and was half tempted to buy.
The thing I really went there to do was distribute RKBA postcards to be mailed in to the US Legislature and I had no trouble giving them away. One guy paid me $5.00 to help with my expenses (I had already spent $62.00 getting them printed).
