Super Bowl weekend!!!!!!
Now I know not every gun loonie is a sports fanatic, but you gotta ponder the fore thought that went into that date being chosen.

Also after the report from SA-Lefty as to the disgusting exhibit of non sensical pricing at last years show, I highly doubt I'll go.

never miss it meet everyone at the beer gardens. hey bigbore you show up wearing only bells i'm sure you'll have the place all to your self.

[Short Round]

I'll be there. CHAS sent me free tickets.
Never been to one before, but a buddy's looking for a handgun, so it seems like a good time.

Went last year and after paying $8 for parking and $5 to get in all i saw were people asking to much for there stuff(Savage 111 package $550...New at Wholesale $439) Everyone was asking stupid prices for everything..I guess they are trying to prey on all the people that dont have a clue what they are looking at....Sad...Never will you guys get my money again...

SA-Lefty"s words to a tee.
Someone has to get these gun show gougers under control, they are the prime reason the gunshows are withering away.
I'm going to meet a few fellow AO'rs and have a brew, I will do my darndest to make displayers aware of their pricing errors. (they just love to see you there with a mail order catalog).

I have never been to this show, so don't know anything about it.

Is it strictly guns only, or is there lots of accessories too?
Is there lots of hunting rifle stuff, or is it all old military stuff?
Is there any handgun related items?

Thanks

we think alike Dick, last 3 i went to, i had a Wholesale Sports catalog with me. i seriously like to look over peoples collections. every now and then, something will get my wallet shaking, but usually the price tag calms it down
