The last gun show I went to...3-4 weeks ago in Hillsville, VA...prices were outrageous. There are several guns, whose prices I’m familiar with, I might’ve paid attention to if I’d seen them, but I’m a NC resident and couldn’t purchase there anyway.
The only ammo I was curious about was CCI Mini Mag 22LR. Prices were $20-$25 for a 100-round box! I passed. I did find the hollow point version of the Mini Mag at a Wal-Mart in Charlottesville. Bought their last 2 boxes for $10 each...on a charge card. I read the article about guns/ammo charge card purchases a couple days later.
I guess I’m on another list now.
I haven't made it to a gun show in years.. I once bought a Chinese SKS for $90 at a show in Chillicothe.(?)
I sure wish all my investments were that successful. I should have bought a dozen of them... :)
