    Just walked in. More vendors than the one here a few months ago. Opened up more for space too. No line to get in and aisles aren't that crowded.

    I went Christmas shopping yesterday. My XDM purchase is going to have to wait until next year. Just here to socialize and touch and feel some guns.

    A few different ammo dealers here. I'm stocked up but most are $.40 to $.50/round for 9mm, .40 and .45 ammo.
    $.12/round on .22lr is the cheapest I've seen so far. That's for the Remington bucket of 1400 rounds, $165 for the bucket.

    Best conversation overheard at the gun show today.

    Man: Did you see what they are charging for that small bowl of jambalaya?
    Lady: Yes, $5! You think they could give you more than that for $5.
    Man: I guess they have a captive audience so they can charge out the ass for the food. Some people!

    I overheard this as I was looking at what this guy had on his table to sell. Spotted 50 round boxes of Remington Thunderbolts he had priced at $8 each.

    Some people is right.

    I just got back from it a few minutes ago. Didn't find there was a lot of black rifles or such. Mostly Fudd guns and surplus com bloc bolt actions. $20 boxes of Tula 9mm. Had more people selling ammo cans than people selling ar-15's it seemed.

    Went today too; seems like more jewelry, cheap knives and cheap tactical gear than guns.
    .22 ammo still a joke, looks like some of it's been stored for 50 years or so.
    You can always rely on the beef jerky man to have the same deals.

    I went today. I was shocked at the small crowd. But there was plenty to look at. Ended up buying only a range bag and a Lee press, but I got to take my time and talk to the vendors. Also, beef jerky and candied pecans! They have another show scheduled in April.

    was tempted to get one of those mk19 cans.

    the gaskets on most of them looked pretty fresh
