Were you around when Michael Meienberg had an FFL?Quote:

Too bad he didn't abide by the Federal and state laws!
Just GOOGLE the name.
After that it was "Grizzly Mike" and the wife and kids settled into selling magazines and accessories.
Eventually Mike violated his parole and the family/business imploded.
Now I see him at the local flea market with his son selling tools and stuff.

Years ago, he had a bunch of plain clothes folks shut down his table and examine everything he had.Quote:

Never heard anymore follow-up.
The TANNER Gun Show used to be a regular stop for some large national vendors that carried a LOT of magazines.
After the magazine capacity law was thrust onto us those big vendors stopped doing Colorado shows.
I miss the variety of items those vendors brought to sell.

Are you referring to the older gent that always wore a top hat?Quote:

He's a decent enough fellow.

Never mind. After I set my phone down and walked away, I remembered the guy you were referring to.Quote:

He also now only is selling "antique" or black powder guns as well as knives, swords, badges, coins, etc.

You are correct Richard. I was holding back on his identifying info until I found out if that was who brutal was talking about.Quote:

My dad enjoyed working the tables with me, and I got to see a lot of folks from my earlier years over the course of the shows. In 2010 (my first time "behind" the tables) Eldon and his wife set up at the same show. I had amassed a sizable cache of ammo prior to the show just before things really started to go south. Much to my surprise, about mid-day Saturday Eldon stopped by my single table and inquired about my set-up, inventory, pricing, etc. He ended up writing me a check for around $900 and put a nice dent in my table. A nice guy that was a pleasure to deal with, and I must say I do believe that that firmly convinced me that I wold go back the next year and do 2 tables.
Kind of rambling on, but that's my gun show story as it relates to Eldon.
Boulder Fairgrounds show: did anyone go, was it ok?
