I haven't been to a gun show in about 3 years. I was so excited that my daughter asked me to take her now that she is old enough to shoot with me. We rounded up the gear and drove an hour, anticipating the gun shows of old.
Used to be that 100 to 150 displays took up the majority of walking room, and what space was left was should-to-shoulder occupied by the several thousand spectators/buyers. Wow! Anti-climatic!
When we walked in, we immediately noted that there were very few displays. Those that were there, were disappointing. Selection was weak, and prices? Forget it! I get better prices day-to-day at the regular gun store. In all seriousness, there were about 50 people looking and/or buying. Saturdays, before, were massively attended.
So, this is my question to my fellow THR readers: is this the gun show trend only in S.E. Michigan, or is this happening on a wider scale? How are the gun shows, selection, prices, and their attendance in your areas?
Thank-you in advance,
