Two shows this weekend

[Barry J]

Looks like the gun show promoters would try to coordinate a little. There is a gun show in Lafayette and Thibodaux this weekend. Not only will they take customers from each other, they will probably take vendors. Which one would be the better one to go to?

 

[krotsman]

Probably neither, from all the comments on shows in the last several years.....

Last few I’ve been to haven’t had anything worth the cost of admission.

 

[krotsman]

Yeah, I stopped going a while back based on the feedback guys posted here.

In your case Thibodaux! Less of a disappointing ride home.

Not only will they take customers from each other, they will probably take vendors.

I highly doubt that for a couple of reasons. Smaller shows like these tend to be compromised of mostly locals who wouldn't travel very far to start with. And as far as customers go, the word is largely out that gun shows are on the decline and again they're mostly folks who wouldn't drive over an hour away to go to a gun show anyways.

Same. And the admission just goes up every year to see the same old garbage that has been littering tables for the last decade. Chinese airsoft gear, a bazillion Glocks, and over priced milsurps just don't do it for me

The Gun Show.
High prices on guns and ammo. A guy with good quality beef jerky but high cost. And maybe a guy who can grind a $300 knife into a $10 one that says "It is Sharp Now" as he hands it back.
I just saved you admission cost.

Lots of Made in China crap in Lafayette on Johnston street.
But there are 2 guns shows in the area but not at the same time.
Carencro has one from time to time, This is the one out of Alexandria, It sucks less than the Johnston street China mart.

Ohh I forgot about the beef jerky guy. Best jerky I ever had but after his prices and admission I’m not so sure it was worth it

The jerky guy’s name is Garry with two Rs. Only double R Garry I’ve ever met.

Sadly gun shows bring high priced stuff you can get much cheaper online or at a local gun store. There are no deals to be had. As others have said… not worth the price of admission

It's been a while since I've gone to a gun show but it seemed like all of the "gun show deals" were on the stuff that nobody seemed to want and didn't sell well.

I'd rather go to Tulsa than to anything happening in Louisiana. Just sayin......
