    Cool The Next Tanner Gun Show in Denver

    I 'm wondering how busy the next gun show will be at the Denver Merchandise Mart. The last show was so bad there were more vendors than customers I think.

    What say you?

    Panic buying is probably over. People either have what they need, are out of cash or maxed their credit cards. I might hit up Arapahoe fairgrounds this weekend just because it's 3 miles away.

    Do you think they'll have any mags available? Oh... wait.... Is there much point in going to the shows anymore? Seems just as easy to buy stuff from a gun shoppe.

    I go because you get to comparison shop very easily. You can walk around for an hour and get lots of prices on the gun you are looking for. It would take a full day of driving around to do the same.

    I would say that it is due to market saturation and buyer fatigue. Also, there is a growing sense of complacency among the "panic ninnies", from what I can gather from my limited interaction with some of them (co-workers, casual friends, etc.). I think Dave was on the right track, also, with his financial assessment statement in his post above.

    I guess if I start to run low on candles, jewelry and jerky, I might have to hit up the next one



    ETA: Although there is growing complacency, they are still searching for, and grousing about, the dearth of reliable sources of .22lr, like so many of the rest of us.

    Good, maybe now the vendors will get realistic with their pricing.

    I could use a couple shield 9mm mags, but I'm sure there will be none at a reasonable price..

    The Shield ones are pretty spendy to begin with.

    I'm curious to see what they have for powder.
