Gun show.....WOW!

[davemac]

Went to a gun show here in Tucson yesterday. I can`t believe the amount of people there & the amount of business the vendors were doing. The hottest items were assault weapons, concealable semi-auto handguns and ammunition. I saw people leaving with 4,5 even 6 cases of ammo at a time. Mostly .223, 7.65x39, 9mm and .45 ACP. Every vendor that was selling bulk ammo had 10-15 people waiting in line to buy.
We got there ~2 hrs after they opened. There was a line of aprox 75 people waiting to get in. We stayed about 2 hrs but it was just too crowded. We left at 12:30 Pm & there were 150-200 people waiting to get in.
I`ve been going to gun shows for about 20 years but have never seen anything like this. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yup......President Elect Obama is the BEST thing that ever happened to firearm and ammunition manufacturers world-wide, and retailers in the US.......at least until he gets into office and has some authority.

That`s exactly what I heard some of the vendors saying

Well crap, I was really wanting to go to one next weekend. I'll probably still try it though. :confused:

Probably not.... :(

Check 'Net Gun Boards.
I was looking for one too.
I bought mine about a year ago from a guy 1/2 hr away for $850.
Found it on an internet gun board's classified section. :D

Hey if you guys go to these shows, pass out a flyer or something about us. I have been trying to get some more site traffic but it's difficult without a lot of sites linking to us. It was like this with DTR. Took a year or two to gain a steady stream of new users. So anyways, wish I was in that business!!
