Gun Show Lamar Dixon

[Xeon64]

Went to gun show today for the first time in a year. It was the worst gun show I have been too in my life. Price Gouging is an understatement. $80 for a box of 9mm when I can get 9mm on the online now for about $25. Almost every gun was about $1000k even for things that I can get online for about $250. I know prices have increase, but not like this.

Then to top it off some scumbags stole 4 guns while I was there.

Surrounded by thieves and price gougers.

And you had to pay to get into the gun show, As for as the scumbag thieves that stole 4 guns, securitiy must be severly lacking there. Defintiely not a gun show I would want to attend.

A buddy and I had a table at one a few years back. The unbridled stupidity we had to deal with was enough to make a man lose all faith in humanity.

I hit the gun shows quite often in Louisiana between 1980 and 2000 when they were still great.
Made a few between 2000 and 2010 but by then they had fallen off quite a bit.

I agree. Now days, one can find better prices elsewhere like online or from local dealers than at gun shows. Years ago it was the reverse but not these days so I have stopped going to gun shows in the past few years.

You didn't happen to see any TRP's out there did you?

Wow! Did anyone checkout the price quotes for State Farm Insurance? And boy were those some nice handbags? Anyone else check out the Snake Oil? Awesome gun??? show.

The last show that I went to was in Kenner about two years ago and haven't been to one since . The only thing that I bought was beef jerky .

Why are you making fun of State Farm insurance and what does it have to do with this thread?

State Farm had a booth at the gun show today.

I’ve been going to gun shows with my grandpa since I was old enough to walk. After the last 2 at Lamar, I’ll just hold on to my money. I was actually at Lamar Dixon bringing my son fishing in the ponds, didn’t even care about walking 30 yards to check it out.

I don't remember how long it's been since I went to a gun show . I never hear anything good so I'm not motivated to go .

There were plenty of 1911's. Did not look the brand.

I agree. In the 1990's the shows were awesome. Unique items all over. Every show you could get a deal one something. Esp Surplus items. Now everything is AR-15's and polymer pistols at ridiculous prices.

Back in the day I made the Gun shows West to Houston, East to Covington, North to Shreveport and South to New Orleans with a friend who had an FFL and always had a table full of firearms to sell.
