With the cost of gas having returned to pre-Obama levels, it's not as bad going to a gun show, but even then, if you're driving more than an hour and paying a cover, it's not worth it imo.
The first show I went to was 2 years ago and I thought it was cool, they had .22 Winchester for $30 for a box of 333. This was back when we were in the midst of the great ammo shortage of the early 2010's. As time went on and I went to more shows, I just saw the same stuff for the same price. I did like the variety of ammo I could buy, because my local stores are limited in what they stock and high in price, but now that the online stores seem to have stocked up and manufacturers are producing ammo like it's WW2, I don't see the need to go to a show to get a variety of ammo.
My time with gun shows is over, at least in New Hampshire.
