I was wondering for those of you who attend gun shows what you generally go there for?
Just for entertainment?
Looking for specific Rifle, Pistol, Shotguns, Mil Surp, Assault type rifle, Riflescopes,etc?
To look for reloading supplies?
I think most of us are looking for deals...at least what we consider deals so what would constitute a deal to you? Finding a gun way below what you consider market price? Looking for a gun that you are simply willing to pay the price because it is so hard to find?
How many of you shop at gun shows to buy and then resell what you purchase there?
Personally I go for the entertainment. I enjoy going and do not go with any preconceived idea that I am going to find a great deal. I usually do not buy anything but still enjoy looking at the hardware.
I will say that over the last twenty years they have certainly changed a lot. I used to go and 50-60% of the guns there were hunting rifles. Now it seems that about 60-70% of the guns there are assault type rifles and then 20% are pistols. Shotguns and hunting rifles make up the rest. The only thing I would like to see different is that they would carry a few more hunting rifles but with the culture so different now compared to what it was in the late 70s and early 80s I doubt that will happen again.
