Went to the Raleigh Gun Show yesterday. Was supposed to open at 9:00 a.m. I got there at 8:40 and there was approximately 125 people in line in 12degree weather. They had just opened the doors and were letting people in early. Left at 11:00 and there was 250 people in line and it was so crowded in the building it was hard to get up and down most of the aisles.
Some of the BIG dealers in the area missed the show as they went to the SHOT show.
Quite a bit of the activity was around the reloading booths and of course the ammo sellers. At times I saw 20+ people waiting in line to purchase reloading supplies.
Some of the ammo dealers were gouging, ie. 27.95 for Hornady Leverevolution 30-30. Paid 20.00 (no tax) at another table, which is a good price here. Selling a lot of pistols, some black rifles, and very few classic rifles sold.
Good crowd in cold weather.
