The gun shows in California have been turning into more of a miltaria swapmeet. Any given gun shop in Pocatello has more stock on hand than the biggest Crossroads shows that I last attended in San Diego.
The dumbass mayor doesn't realize the revenues he is turning away for the city. The shows are very quiet events with lots of law enforcement uniformed and plainclothes. Some of them are present as customers too. I hope everyone with signed contracts to hold the shows takes the mayor to court for violation of ex post facto laws. A lawsuit with treble the damages in lost revenues and sunk expenses delivered personally to the mayor would get his attention.
