Default Red Deer Gun Show

We went yesterday, spent a couple hours. Always like this show. Mostly just guys and gal selling their stuff, instead of dealers and stores.
Prices and selection were good.

Pretty decent show. Pricing wasn't outrageous, with a good mix of items.

Once you get past the ignorant patrons. Why do guys feel the need to literally get in your hip pocket, and reach around you to look at something, when you're already there looking or handling an item right next to their latest "must see"?

One fellow there friggen near net my elbow in his jaw, when he startled the crap outta me with such a maneuver.....he got a stern wait your turn and a Zach Kassian stare down.

The stuffy sweltering conditions in the hall were the biggest take away IMO.

It was steady up until around noon as usual then petered out a bit.A profitable day, surrounded by like minded people..What's not to like? Lots of powder if anyone's short....not Alliant......Harold

I found it to be pretty decent as far as gun shows go, but it's been a while since I've gone to one too.

I have to wonder, though. When did we, as a group, just decide to abandon personal hygiene and grooming? Or did I just happen to go when the bus from way back in the hills had arrived?

I enjoyed it as always friendly faces and smiles to be had.

The way a gun show should be.
