Gonzales gunshow

[LabRat]

Unless you are there for scented candles, Chinese stars, or beef jerky.

or butterfly knives and fake hand grenades

They are definitely not what they use to be, but if you're into paying FULL retail and cheap Chinese optics it's the place to go!! I still go cause it's in my blood. There's just something about smelling all that cosmoline and gun grease in the morning that gives me the same feeling I would get when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

I just got a phone call from a friend who is helping out at a table. He said people were lined up in lawn chairs 2 hrs prior to the show opening up!

Gun show

Just wanted to let anyone heading to the gun show know that I got there at 8:25 and there were approximately 1500 people waiting in line ahead of me...meaning that anything ammo or AR related would be gone by the time you get there...just wanted to save anyone trying to do what I was doing that it is a waist of time

I'm going and bringing a few mags with me to try to sell at exorbitant prices

 

[rrussotwo]

Great news for sellers.

He should stay outside and work the crowd in line where most of the bargains are.

Save your $8 and talk to the people waiting in line where the bargains are.

Also posted in the original gun show thread:

Report from my buddy. He got there at 8am and avoided the line but when the show opened at 9am the line for people to get in, NOT the line for cars, was backed up all the way to the guard gate at the entrance to the Lamar Dixon complex. Wrap your head around that. He said the line at the ammo booth inside the building was so jammed they had to make an intercom announcement about it because it was blocking the rows to the other tables.

Cars were bumper to bumper all the way down S St. Landry from Hwy 30 to Lamar Dixon.
There were about 400 people in line at 10am.
I was just going to see how outrageous the prices were so I didn't waste my time in the line.
I'll try again tomorrow.

I will go for the entertainment value only. $8 for an hour of entertainment plus some really good sugared peanuts and pecans. It is worth it.

What caliber, 5.56?

 

[fishnuts]

I went, got in line at 8:30. There was actually two lines. One was alot shorter than the other. Got in pretty quick. Prices were insane, but people were buying it up. I bought two mags for my glock and that was it. Line was short when we left at 11.

Last time i went to one it was packed with people that either had the sniffles, or looked as though they seldom bathed. Add to that the ridiculously high prices for their junk, and $8 to get in, uh, i'll pass...

 

[Neil09]

Don't waste ur time. After you pay the entry fee and see that everything is priced as high as giraffe p***y you'll wish you had the door fee back....

Damn it I like when someone replies with the truth whole truth and nothing but the truth!!

Thanks for your reply Sir:}

I didnt realize it cost 8.00 now

 

[Ellis1958]

Been to a few gunshows. Haven't bought a thing. Prices are too high and a lot of the offerings are pure crap. Only sold one thing. A SKS that I couldn't get on paper at 50yd. But I still go for one reason...

To exercise my FIRST Amendment right. You know, that part about free assembly. Being able to freely assemble is another core piece of your Bill of Rights. Exercise it.

It has been since the April 2009 show. I rarely find anything worth paying for and most times I go I swear off going again.
