This will be my first ever gun show to attend. Can you trade firearms there? What types of firearms would I expect to find there? Mostly C&R or just about anything? Thanks guys?

OK to bring guns to the show?
I feel silly asking. I have a LTC A - no restrictions and may want to bring some guns to show in order to try on accessories, holsters, etc. Is that ok to do? If so, would carrying them in a backpack be ok? How about a briefcase. Anything else I should consider walking around with 3 guns +/- while at this show?
Thanks.
does the guy will all the Nazi crap show up there? Fitchburg was my first and only show........ I'm all for military memorabilia, but that was more than just relics he was selling. I dont know, that just made me really uncomfortable
He was NOT a skin head as in Nazi. The barcode on the back of his head was because of the movie Hitman He was odd, but a nice guy.There are a couple of people with National Socialist Party items....what got me was the honest-to-goodness Skinhead I saw there last time: complete in all details, from the stompin' boots to the shaved knob. He even had a barcode tattooed on the back of his head! The guy up near the front in B row has always seemed a decent guy to me....
They will zip tie it throught the magwell. It might be hard to fit to a holster but it is worth bringing.I got a question im sure many can answer for me...I plan on going to the show at the end of the month, just got a new Walther P99, I was wanting to look for a leather holster. Can I bring my P99 with me or not? Obviously unloaded, but I wasnt sure if it was something I could bring with me to fit for holsters etc. Thanks for your help ahead of time!
I went around 2pm on Sunday in September, and it was not too crowded. I think that I missed out on some stuff going so late though. I'm going Saturday around lunch time.Any suggestions on what time and day will be the least crowded? I didn't bother to go last year. In 1989 I bought a ChiCo SKS for $99 and 1,000 rounds of ChiCo steel core for another $99

Does anybody know if tables are available for the upcoming Marlboro gun show? I can't seem to find anyone to contact
Do you usually get a better deal for cash at a gun show?
Really? I thought most people carried cell phones nowdays. While validation is usually digitial, I believe that many of the credit card processing firms offer voice verification to people without access to their terminal can call in to validate a sale.also, most of the tables will not have phnoe lines, so a credit card authorization would be a problem.
Years ago it was mostly cash or checks (usually only if the dealer knows you).
These days, most have cc capability, usually via cell phone. BTW, if you really believe that most won't have phone lines . . . then you must also believe that most don't sell guns . . . since if they can't do a NICS check, they can't sell you a gun, there is no exemption for "no phone lines available" or "gun show loophole" unlike what the media tells us.
Cash will usually be king, but ccs will still get you a deal with someone who wants to move merchandise and prices reasonably.
Can any dealers maybe give us a taste of what they might have at the show? Just a small list is all I ask.
