Past two gun shows here were MOBBED! Could barely move.
Tons of McCain/Palin buttons and shirts on people too.
In the Ft. Lauderdale show, it was so packed that they had to wait for people to exit before allowing more in. The line when I left had about 400 people in it.
The nearest gun show to me happens over 200 miles south in Salt Lake City. Unless I have a very good reason to make a 400 mile round trip, there are few "bargains" that would offset even the cost of travel. Last gun show I opted to visit my local FFL and reduce his inventory a bit. This past weekend on passed on another SLC gun show. Instead, I renewed my range membership and hunting license.
