The biggest gun shops in Virginia, sales-wise (Trader Jerry's and Quantico Tactical, to name but two) make it a point to set up at all the local gun shows. When I arrive at a show, the first thing I notice is the large Trader Jerry's truck parked outside. Inside the show, they have lines of people waiting to buy from them. (Their secret is competitive prices, and wide selection.) I guess Virginia is quite different from Arkansas in this regard.
There is one gun show about 30 miles from where I live, and one about 110 miles away. I think each is held 3-4 times/year. Both are more about selling jerky than guns but I do think it would be important to have a presence at them.
