I toyed with the idea of attending a show this weekend but didn’t go. I really don’t need anything and I t was a couple of hours away. I didn’t feel like driving that far and paying $10 just to look at overpriced stuff I don’t need.
Yeah, same here, at least until vaccines are further along.
What I think is overlooked at times (especially by us older members) is that gun shows have not
always been so politically driven by the
buyers.
Perceived changes to gun laws? - premium prices from gougers and speculators with lines to look at AR's and polymer handguns.
All quiet on the legislative front? - lots of indifference with the majority of movement inside coming from folks
going back and forth between tables looking to save 50 cents on that new brand x pistol.
IMHO, there are not nearly as many
true gun enthusiasts - both wood/blue steel AND black plastic - as there used to be, regardless of age.
(I refer to this dying breed as 'aisle crossers' for their willingness to actually check out tables with both older and newer models).
From my perspective as a table holder/helper, it seems shows today have most of the attendees that are only looking on one side or the other.
