No parking fees :)
No toy sellers
No jerky sellers
Maybe one safe seller
4 -5 tables of high end antique firearms :eek:
1 seller with WWI & WWII items exclusively :eek:
1 seller with all the "10/22 full-auto snipier assault weapons" books :uhoh:
1 dealer 4-6 tables that everything is "collectable" and overpriced :scrutiny:
food bar at opposite end from clean bathrooms :cool:

There's usually the same staple guys at each show. All but one I'll stop and look at thier wares. The other is the "collectable" seller. I could proberly get a dealer pass but addmission is only $5. Usually don't buy much at all - maybe a trinket or small part. Anything I do see, I have my dealer (who has 4-5 tables) get it for a better price. :neener: Got one coming up next weekend I'm going to.
 
Yea they have a "selector" switch....All the way up is safe...one click down is Full...all way down is semi-.
 
yea but I can do alot better...If I can find one that goes for $250.00 again I would pick one up.

I liked the way that they feel and I already have a boatload of 1911 mag.s:D

DB- Owner Azrael's Custom Leather House of Chicken


ZOG= Zionist Occupied Government

Zionist=Jews

It is one of the "catch" phrases that the White supremacists and others use as one of the there rallying cries..

Supposedly Zionists or Jews run the Government and the Media...and are RIGHT NOW out there plotting against the WHITE man and trying to disarm America so that the New World Order can come in and put us all in "reeducation camps"...<~~~this one I have always gotten a chuckle out of...

The book "Protocols of the learned elders of Zion" a supposed "TRUE" telling of there "battle plan" to destroy White America...Although I think that it has been shown to be "made up"

Alot of Kluckers and W.A.R. Types subscribe to it...

I think one of the first of the kluckers to use the term in print was in the book "The Turner Diaries"by Andrew Macdonald..But i am not sure of that
 
Azreal-

It was MacDonald who wrote that book, I read about it in the training material we get on Prison Gangs, and it was the Ayran Nation/Brotherhood that thought it up and wrote about it.

What is even sicker is that crap got published. :barf: :fire:
 
As has been mentioned; if I was to write a review of the gunshows in Las Vegas, it would be pretty much a copy of the original post.
I get a kick out of going to them although I won't go out of my way to do so. If I don't have anything else going on and have a whole day to blow, I go. I usually find a few things to buy, but not much. It is entertainment.
 
Went to the Melbourne gunshow today, with the author's description in mind.

That new plastic CO2/Electric Baikal BB gun is kinda neat. 1, 3, or 6-round bursts, all from something that looks like an oversized DeWalt cordless drill.

My eyeglasses are still dirty, even though they offered to clean them.

Lots of guns and knives under glass with big "Not for Sale" signs. Guess that's why they call it a show, because those folks are there simply to show off their stuff.

The rest of the show was educational, though.

The local sheriff's candidate for the upcoming elections is the greeter outside the front door. If he's elected, that means the Torpy Trifecta/Triumvirate will have come to pass, his 2 brothers already sit in positions of power in Brevard county. Interesting. I forgot to ask him what his stance is on concealed carry permits and Title III ownership. No biggy, I'm not a resident of the county or state, anyway.

I never knew that if I took my DCM M1 Garands, as delivered, and just laid them on a table, I could put a $1000-$1100 price tag on them.

A "Pre-ban" Colt HBAR, sans bayo lug and flash hider ( :confused: ), is worth $1350.

A "Rarest-of-the-rare, early model" NoIMkIII* Lee-Enfield is worth $500, based on how early it is. (Being a nice guy, I didn't ask him where magazine cutoff or volley sight was, or if he knew what the asterisk meant in the model # stamping)

I got to handle a Mateba auto-revolver carbine in .454 Cassull. Tamara, YOU NEED ONE OF THESE! :what:

The lady with the Nazi T-Shirts and coffee mugs wasn't there. She had been replaced by some lady wearing snakeskin tights w/moccasin boots, carrying a sword slung over her back and a bowie knife stuck in each boot, selling Chinese scopes and red dot sights.

I found a familiar face, and bought a bunch of .44 Special 200gr cast bullets, powder, and brass. He must've known I was going to be there, and produced a nice, unmolested 1945 BSA No4Mk1 for my perusal. I didn't go to the gun show expecting to come home with a gun, but... :D
 
Azrael thanks. I figured it was something like that judging from the context, but was still pretty clueless.

Isn't that part of the experience. . .;) :D :cool: . In the sea of overpriced uninteresting stuff, you can sometimes find something nice.
 
For me, a gun show is like going to the mall. I don't really intend to buy anything, but there is so much of everything around, I can try it out. I can hold 7 different AK variants. Hold the newest (fill-in-the-blank). My local shops don't have this kind of variety, but, now that I know what I want, they can order it for me.

I usually end up with a few items, nothing major.

As for the ZOG guys, see my sig...
 
Read your post...enjoyed it. Said to self, sounds exactly like San Antonio...look at your location, LMAO!:D
 
I recently attended a gun show in Florida for the first time in about four years. The funniest thing there was the owner of a big gun show-only outfit tooling up and down behind his tables on one of those segways. :D
 
^^^^^^^^^^^

He dosent do just the shows, he has 2 stores in the Orlando/Apopka area.

If you read the court case US. v Miller, you see his name repeatedly.

All the guys I know in the business refuse do deal with the twerp. Terrible reputation and his prices are unbelivably high.
 
Our local show was this weekend. Saw just about everything that's already been described except no Nazi stuff.
An Uncle of mine and a couple of his pals always have a table where they sell duplicates from their cartridge collections and stuff from the closet they don't want anymore. They don't even care if they sell anything or not, but they've got a place to set all day and socialize.

I did actually buy a gun this year along with the normal supplies to restock my loading bench. Bought my son a Beretta NEOS. I had been looking at them on Gunbroker, seller at the show had prices that competed with anything on the net with no shipping or transfer fees!

My son and a couple of his buds went back later that afternoon and stocked up on video games, darts for their blowguns, designer sunglass knockoffs etc.

I know who you are talking about. Not crazy about the segway zipping around, etc. Anyhoo, what case are You referring to?
Can You point Me to a page with info please?

I beg to differ about the prices. Not all of the prices were great, but quite a few were. They have been more than willing to "haggle" and lower their prices for Me.
At the last show a couple of weeks ago, they gave My father a nice price on a pistol that He ended up purchasing. They were also willing to sell Me an 870 for a pretty good price compared to other sources both local and over the net. Add to that, the price was without Me even trying to bargin.
Seems alright to Me.
 
The gentleman in question does deal in Title 2 stuff but he is a little too young to have been involved in the original 1939 Miller case. Is there another case by the same name also dealing with firearms?
 
"All the guys I know in the business refuse do deal with the twerp. Terrible reputation and his prices are unbelivably high."

Granted I don't know him that well, but in the dealings I have had with him he played fair. I have heard all kinds of horrible rumors about him that I won't repeat here, much of it from other dealers in the area. The conversations seem to start with, "Well sure you can save $20 by buying from him...but (insert rumor here)." How much of his terrible reputation is sour grapes from competitors?
 
I spent a few hours yesterday at the PHX Crossroads gunshow. I've always been a little miffed at the $5 parking on top of the -now- $8 (discounted) entry fee. But then, I have to consider all entertainment value I got in return.

The two descriptions here are almost completely correct. No beanie-baby dealers (that I saw, at least).

I've always wondered, however, about those guys with the Nazi stuff for sale. The aisles are generally packed, and people stop and "troll" through to look at almost anything someone will throw out on a table. Except for the Nazi dealers. They each seem always be involved in some deep conversation (about the ZOG, NWO, or whatever they're hung up with) with one guy--who won't end up buying anything--while the rest of the crowd just passes on by. One of these dealers actually was trying to sell a very rusted Nazi helmet complete with two enormous holes. Who would want this thing on their mantle.....Never mind. I don't want to know.

The other type of guy I've been in awe of, is the guy selling what appears to be the latest tactical stuff for those on their way to Jihadistan. Blackhawk this, Drop-leg that--all in Desert Camo, of course. He's doing business faster than you can imagine. Of course, the closest any of his buyers are going to get to battle in the desert, is to unpack their stuff from their "Tactical Truck" while at the Ben Avery Range.

I was looking for snap-caps. Found 12gauge caps for $5 each, $4 each, or two for $5. I guess these dealers do enough business with people who aren't paying attention to what they're looking at, to not care how different their prices are from their competition. Whatever.
 
Sounds like the Big Town show

Rabbit, no BS, dude, I was thinking that the entire time I was reading it. BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

Little mention of the "tactical gear" sellers. There are 3 types:

The kind that has the black nylon stuff with no name on it, and apparently no thought as to its construction either. This guy usually has a bunch of overprices LBVs from the mid-80s, as well. They are the only things that aren't black.

The guy that has nothing but Blackhawk gear. Most of it is in black, too, but there's a lot in OD or CT, as well. According to him, Blackhawk makes the best gear on the market, it's what all the SWAT/SEALS/Delta/Recon uses. In black, of course. His customers biggest complaint is that all the new MOLLE/Strike gear isn't widely available in black, only in "untactical green or tan".

Then there's the one guy that actually carries high-quality stuff and tries to sell it at a decent price. He only appears every 3-4 months, and you better get there early on Saturday, because due to the world envrionment, he can't get many things from the makers, it's all going overseas. He's usually sold out by noon.
 
Its not 1939 miller - its the miller in FL, I think back in the 80's. I cant find an active link describing the case.

I've seen his prices and I wasnt impressed on any of them - glocks at $600, sigmas at $300, most of the people should get a better deal on the boards.

He's had a very shady reputation and in fact owes a class III dealer that is a personal friend of mine at least one machinegun paid for not delivered. I cant prove the rumors floating around, but I certainly do not doubt it. As far as what I've heard about his business - He's buddied up with RSR and floats their inventory on his table without fronting all the cash. Is that good for the consumer? You tell me.

I dont plan on doing any transactions with him anytime soon, theres 10 other cards in my rolodex I'd much rather patronize.
 
That's a funny thread.

There's two people that I always see at the shows. It's a husband and wife team working a table. She's dressed for an expensive evening out for dinner. She's got on a nice dress, makeup, jewelry etc. The husband looks like he just changed the oil in his car while parked in a mudhole. He used his clothes to gather as much of the spilled oil as possible.

I haven't any idea what they sell if it's the latest tactical gizmo or latest 'fantasy' sword made of soft steel in china or -stan.

Some of the shows that I've been too have been pretty good. I think I've seen quite a few of the people on the original post.:barf:

Still interesting to take a look at what is for sale and for how much. Also, I buy books and ammunition at the shows.

-Jim
