My daughter, son-in-law, their son, wife, two kids, and I went. It's a small town so a small show but there was enough to look at to keep SIL, grandson and I entertained for about 2 1/2 hours even if the women and kids bailed out in about half that time. Lots of the maker's new guns on display. Lots of revolvers for a change, and plenty of 1911s. Of course the main items were plastic fantastic handguns with about an even divide between small and regular sized and a host of ARs. There was even some powder, bullets, and a few primers. Prices on most everything hovered very close to the ceiling.

I found a really nice High Standard Supermatic at what I though I was a decent price. If not for having made my yearly contribution to the federal government and state budgets the day before it would have come home with me. Daughter bought a green dot sight for her AR and the grandson had a sack with something in it but I left empty handed. The SIL was contemplating returning and buying the deal of the day AR which was very nice piece of machinery but I don't know if he did.

No jerky or sunglasses either. A few trinkets and quilts along with a good supply of knives rounded out the show. It was a nice time killer for an annoyingly windy and cool day.
 
No jerky? Must have been a Vegan gun show
Perhaps they were sold out.......:eek:

Please tell me there was at least one old lady selling bead necklaces, otherwise we have experienced a seismic Mandela effect!

Seriously, though, glad you had a good show. Our little local show is always a fun way to spend a Sunday morning, even when I don't actually buy anything. :)
 
You should have bought the "Supermatic". I find that worrying about the cost is wasted energy and within a few days,weeks, months, I don't even remember why I was concerned. And I live on a pretty low fixed income!
