....went to a lot of state fairs when we lived “back east,” but never saw a gun show at any of them....but, that was then and this is now....live in Texas...! where there is a gun show some where, some place virtually every weekend...!! love it....and I don’t have to worry about getting chickens**t or horse manure on my boots...!!!
I used to enjoy gun shows at The Cow Palace at the San Mateo County border with San Francisco. Until San Francisco politicians made a stink about it, and got them banned with help from San Mateo liberals a few years ago. The gun shows were a great place to find ammo and accessories on the cheap.
