I can only hope the Bolshie swarm has finally awakened those who are blinded by the bling.
I miss those Cow Palace gun shows. Fondly remember walking out of there with rifle bags and ammo boxes and met with smiles in the parking lot. The libs in SF kept trying for years to shut it down despite it being in San Mateo county, until it ended. My Dad was career military and would sometimes park an Army Jeep outside our home in SF and walked around in uniform and everyone was friendly - but that was the 1950's when SF was Republican. It went downhill in the late 1960's with an influx of Democrats from eastern states (Pelosi, Willie Brown, etc.).
