Not his. 3 different dealers. All of his are under glass.

No metal detectors upon leaving. Not even bag checks.

Thanks. That's what I figured from your post, but asked anyway.

Maybe I'm naive, but that sounds pretty high. Anyone know if those numbers are typical?

I did get asked by a deputy if I had any firearms in my bag on the way out, but he didn't actually check

Deputy? Yesterday it was just the private security guys but they also asked if I had any guns in my bag but didn’t check.

Went Sunday, saw the carrot dude. Actually made me crave carrot cake. But...gawdy jewelry, ugly purses, lipstick, and what looked like a hair dresser?! I did pick up an M&P22 at least.

Outside of that it was all the same old stuff. I guess not much buying was going on as the background check for my buyer only took about 5 minutes-that was just before 12:30p.

His first name Ritchie by chance?

I bought my first Garand from him years ago. Sad to hear.

I didn't pay that much attention, but it sure looked like Adams County...

TFOGGER, after now being aware of the thefts on Saturday that makes a lot of sense that a deputy would've been added. I know there was some kind of medical emergency on Saturday but didn't hear of the thefts until Eric P posted about it. I frankly was shocked that the security guard took my word that I didn't have any firearms in my bag-must be my honest face. [ROFL1]

Got there shortly after 9, stayed til noon, small crowd, nothing special, had a lot of lookers it my ar but no buyers.

Two ladies were standing on the corner of 58th and the driveway entrance holding signs about no more dead children and calling for the ban of “assault rifles”. Seemed to be ignored-no one stopping to talk, no horns honking from what I could tell.

I spoke to a friend who took the time to try and engage the 2 protesters in a "civil discourse" on the topic of their protests.
He had walked all the way up to the corner from the show, approached them politely, introduced himself and asked them to explain their position on the topic.
The answer was a screamed series of profanity laden sentences.
He actually had expected this and so just continued to respond calmly and finally gave up once it was clear that all these 2 wanted was to provoke a response.
I was surprised that the 2 didn't make the local news!

Wow, your friend has more patience than I would, that’s one reason I avoided them. It’s impossible to discuss any issue with those that come from an emotional rather than factual viewpoint.

went there to kill some time -was surprised that there was not much of a crowd - show seemed smaller this time, didnt see anything i really wanted - there was a smith 41 that was pretty nice and a couple of nice older colt gold cups with boxes for around 1600. ended up picking up 2 new kimbers, not because i really wanted them, but i thought they were decent prices

Everyone was probably home watching the olympics.

Or possibly outside enjoying the weather.

The only thing that brought me joy was going to the Red Rooster for a huge breakfast burrito.

One good thing I noticed was the full range of ages in attendance, including lots of teens and 20's. According to many gun forum "experts", gun shows are only supported by Silents, Boomers, and older Gen X'ers. I guess that's wrong too...

I thought about swinging by this morning but then common sense got the better of me and I decided to enjoy the beautiful weather outside instead.

Is that your way of saying that you circled the lot for 45 minutes looking for a spot before you decided to leave?

The show promoter has a free shuttle running to off-site parking!
The show was busy with people and I did spot some interesting items for sale.
I wonder what Sunday will be like?

Got a bunch of wolf 223 at a pretty decent price, so I can't complain too much this time around.

I didn't see any protestor's this show.
We did have a vendor collapse onto the floor late on Saturday!
They brought out the new trauma kit and security cleared a pathway for the ambulance crew to get to the patient.

Saturday was a long day for us!
Sunday was OK, but got busy about the last hour & a half!
I saw a couple of interesting things while walking the show, Hickman's had some nice M1 rifles & carbines.
I didn't buy anything though.

I went this last time. I spent more money there on Saturday than I've spent there in multiple years combined. got a good price on a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel, a nice, but not too expensive knife for my kit, some great magnets to hold my firearms in my car and other goodies. Very happy I took a new guy in our office to it.

Looks like Gloria and I will be driving to Denver this Friday to set up for this next TANNER gun show.
If you need anything delivered from APEX , I suggest that you call my customer service and get that order placed before Friday!

If I’m up to it I plan to go, will stop by and say hi. Looking for some 45acp ammo and will try to buy back a Uberti SAA I sold to a guy last year-really miss it, he had it at the last show with no interest. I got a fair price when he bought it, I’ll see how generous he’s feeling ng LOL.
