What bad economy ??
Went to a local gun show this AM. Doors were to open at 9:00. I got there about 9:15, and there was a line about 75-80 yds. long waiting already. Once I got inside, it wasn't too bad for a little bit, but as more people came in, soon it was like being in a sardine can. Gun shows around here are usually always packed, but today was something else. Seemed that a fair amount of transactions were taking place, also. I bought a couple of AR magazines, and was looking for a shotgun for my step-son. I found what I was looking for right off the bat, but figured I'd move around and look-see. When I got back to buy it, it was gone. For a change, things were selling. Guess the new administration has people worried, and they're "gettin it now!!" Very little .223 ammo around. Most of what there was was the steel-cased stuff.
Ran into a couple of old friends, and we all noted how it seemed that lots of buying going on. Prices ??? Out of this world !!!!
Another gun show in the area next weekend---lots of different vendors. I'll be checking it out also. Only two shows in the area all year, and they're one right after the other. Unbelieveable..........
