How's the Tanner show?

[Ridge]

The GF and my sons had a good time, I didn't find anything but my oldest haggled a few bucks off a multi tool and haggled with Alex for a buck off some cards. Loved that it wasn't nut to butt.
On the flip side I was going to buy some 5.56, saw some and asked the guy if it was new or reman and got a very angry "of course its re-manufactured, if you find some new for that price you let me know" wasn't so much what he said but the way he said it. NO SALE D BAG!

He wants you to let him know so he can buy it all and mark it up 20% to sell at next show.

i've never understood this "hanging out" business--if i want to hang out with guns and folks with guns, i go to a range, not a gun show.

Simple, when I go to the gun range I go there to shoot and practice. I'm not there to socialize. I don't want or need someone distracting me, breaking my flow, taking my focus away from what I'm there to do/practice.

IMO, the range is NOT the place to lose focus on what you are doing. Thats how accidents happen....

who said anything about losing focus? Ever heard of a cease fire? Ever heard of hitting the clubhouse afterwards?

Dude, you crack me up, you ask a question, I give you an answer and you get all defensive. Maybe you should just come out and say what you really mean...

I recommend you stay away

I'll just bet alxone appreciates that recommendation.

There are some guys who show up with the same overpriced stuff show after show. I've started mentally noting serial numbers to confirm my suspicion that they don't sell it.

Of course, the fact that the paper tag with description and price on the rifle shows almost as much age as the rifle is a clue ...

I see this too, same folks, same overpriced stuff, its like they are running a museum. I cannot figure out why they want to lug all that stuff around from show to show.

I don't go to socialize either. Range, set up targets get situated at the bench and shoot when range is hot. You can run in to people from here and others you may not have seen in a while. I've run in to clients of mine from years ago at shows. Just enough to bs, not enough (like someones house), to be overstaying your welcome.

Same option for the gun show as reading a thread here. Don't go or don't click.

Theres no shortage of zombie hordes flocking to that place. My problem is I get verry closterphobic when I'm stuck in a crowd and I tend to get angry and just start plowing my way to the door so I can breathe. Tanner was much better 5 years ago if they got a bigger venue or opened the other half of the building I would be happy to go back but until then STAY AWAY
