Colorado Springs - shows

Is it OK to sit in the parking lot with some ammo on the tailgate?

Asking for a friend

Will you have .22lr?
Trying rustle some up for our Boy Scout Troop trip to the NRA Whitington in NM this month.

Show is not big and if you are desperate to overpay for ammo this is the place.

On Saturday, May 1st, I got a call from a friend who asked me if I wanted to go with him to a gun show @ Palmer Park & Academy here in the Springs.

I thought "Hmm, I know there was a show last weekend, but had no idea there was another this weekend". My buddy assured me he saw a marquee sign that said "Gun Show This Weekend" in front of the venue. Given I know a bit more about firearms than my friend and he may want me there for advice, and since we hadn't hung out in over a year I said "Sure".

So I go to his house and we go to the "gun show". We get there and as we're looking for a place to park we're both thinking that the people going in look a bit "odd" (actual word used by my friend). Now, I know that over the last 2-3 years a lot of folks who never would have considered owning a firearm have been buying them up, so maybe that explained the clientele.

Given we were a little unsure of the event based off of the folks going in we thought we'd peek into a window first. While everything inside was curtained off there was a flier taped to the window which advertised that the weekend event was actually the "Oddity & Bizarre Expo". Well, this explained everything we were seeing.

Needless to say, we didn't get a chance to buy any over-priced ammo or beef jerky.

The Gun Show was in the next hall to the north.
The line to enter the gun show was much shorter.
We did have a lot of people from the "Oddity and Bizarre" show come thru the gun show too.
I sold a lot of pouches and "stuff" to those customers.
