And another one of these for the biological digs...Also they seem to have the market corned on flatulence, I bet its about 60% of the unrepentant gun show cropdusters are above 78. The BO crew though is pretty well distributed by age, though.
How about only locating shows next to either a strip club or a Chinese buffet so after you realize once again you pissed away the entrance fee on another crappy show you can at least feel like the trip wasn't a complete waste
I was in Houston on business and the convention center had a gun show and a bikini show, one ticket got you into both
...I am dying here this morning with these...I'd sort attendees by BO type:
"OK Sir, you have 'dry-burning-cumin' BO, you need get out of the 'vinegary-Italian-sub' line and to get in that one over there."
You would then have to deal with import regulations bringing your purchases back to the US.My idea/only half joking. Hold the gun show on an old oil rig that is its own sovereign nation. Paperwork, pfffft, using paperwork in our country is an insult...
At least back 10-15 years ago, it was common to see a few guys split a single table at a gun show in "free" America. Not so much these days - probably b/c of the internet. Why wait for the next show when you can just list on Armslist or your local gun BB?
But we've had some interesting folks at shows here. Back in the day there was the Crazy Vest Guy. CVG. He did mostly the NH and north-of-Boston shows. He had a concealed carry leather vest and was always slamming his weighted monkey-paws on the table.
Then the guy that ran the big target and holster table on the far left at every show - he had his wife wearing a low-cut top for a few years, then his teenage daughter wearing the same for a few years after that. ?????
Today you've got the belly-holster guy accosting you. LOL It's enough to want to get your LTC or something to defend yourself. ROFL!!!!
Now thats what I call freedom !How about only locating shows next to either a strip club or a Chinese buffet so after you realize once again you pissed away the entrance fee on another crappy show you can at least feel like the trip wasn't a complete waste

If it an item isn't priced it can't be displayed.
ahhhh...I kinda like the jerky...I would ban any smelly food, starting with jerky.
Jerky is smelly? They must be doing it wrong!I would ban any smelly food, starting with jerky.
This is how I would do things.
The people doing political booths. Be it stop Frau Maura or Vote for Diehl ect. Move them the heck away from the guys selling SS memorabilia. The reenactor in me always loves to see how much those guys are trying to rip people off on that stuff. But that is not an image that would help our efforts politically. After that, I would make a segregated area. So that means the people selling purses, jewelry, crappy Chinese knives and Jerky would be exiled to that area. It would definitely help Maybe streamline what it takes to get into the show. I'd gladly pay a $2-3 service fee to be able to skip the line and just give the doorman a ticket I bought online.
Not going to work, as there is dealer money and promoter money. One of my part-time jobs in high school was as a move in/out helper for local antique shows. The promotor's goal was for the table fees to completely cover the facility rental and for the gate to be pure profit.I’d also like to see something like a validated entry ticket If you buy something then you get a credit / refund of your entry ticket
I would make it a rule that if you have to sell something else that isn't AR part or rifles. You can sell AR's, but not JUST AR's.
Price your shit like you really wanted to sell it.
No flea market tables. I'm not going to a gun show to buy a f***ing candle. I can't go to a candle show to buy a gun so stay the f*** away.
Exactly. The one thing that's kept me from leaving a gun show with a gun is overpricing. Selling something for more than I seenit in stores isn't going to make a sale. Price it like you want to sell it.
And a better selection of preban pistol mags wouldn't hurt either....just sayin....
