They usually just ask you, and it's up to you to tell them if you're carrying or not........
Speaking of cash, obviously cash is king, but do people at the shows typically accept check and/or credit/debit card?
Most accept CC.

Me too. I already have undercover "agents" that will call me if there's anything good on Saturday and I'll buy over the phone with CC and pick on SundayI'll probably be there on Sunday.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")

While they accept credit cards, lately they've been charging a percentage to cover the cost the credit card charges them. Buy a $2,000 firearm and expect a shock. Not much money considering the sale price, but irritating nevertheless. (O.K., a $500.00 one).![[crying]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/006.gif "Crying [crying]")

I suggest next time making something up.
"I am previously committed to judging a wet t-shirt contest in Montreal."
"I blew the motor in my Camaro drag racing on I-190."
Or even:
"I'm still recovering from the pie-eating contest last week."
(I actually used that excuse to get an extension on a test date once.)

another dumb question
hopefully, some one will answer the admission fee question as well, but I was curious what the policy for bringing kids might be? Wifey is going college shopping with our 17 YO this weekend, so I have our 10 YO son to care for. I know some shows won't let kids in, anyone know if young'uns is banned?
If I can take him, I'll go saturday
and spend money I'm not supposed to while the wife is away

Kids are fine at the show. You will see a lot of wide eyed little ones there.

Oh and don't forget to bribe the kids so they don't rat you out!!!
Depends, I doubt some of the junk/smaller table sellers are going to have machines. Frankly I would bring cash for any gun show purchases. Would
suck to find some guy has a bunch of (whatever) you want, and then not be able to pay for it because of a formality. There aren't exactly a bunch of
ATMs near that part of town, either. (RPTC is basically out in the middle of nowhere as far as Fitchburg is concerned. )

I wish. Old fat Corgie with lyme disease, can't hop into car to go to the vet. Won't go up the fold-up ramp anymore either. Mom can't lift him. What a waste of a perfectly good Saturday. This sucks.
