Why would the ATF set up a table?
My daughter was trying to ask them if they were hiring/how to apply but they were too busy thumping their chests and polishing their jackboots.

Hey, it ain't easy to pull off the duck dynasty look on a daily basis. Eating the right combination of foods and hygiene management to get that woodsy aroma is a backwoods artform. Y'all should show some respect!Yup. I agree with the Duck Dynasty look-alikes. But while looking kind of disheveled, all those guys seemed to be clean/washed and didn't smell bad at all.

My fun find was a box of 30-30 Winchester ammo for $89.
Stopped in with my son for the last 1.5 hours.
Let him pick out a knife and found one I liked; the cheapies, 2 for $20.
He was thrilled but the Mrs. not so much.....
Bought some meat sticks and almost took home a really nice 70's vintage Crossman 760 that reminded me of my youth...but let it stay.
No shortage of 5.56 ammo - what did you guys think of price by case...?
had a good time myself, got a comm2a shirt, some NRA raffle tickets, 2 LPK's ($60 each) and I picked up a 1944 M1895 nagant revolver with ammo and a holster from someone on here for $150. One question, did the lady selling the 30 rd sks Pmags (and a newish 100 rd drum) not know about our assinine laws or was she only selling to free staters there? I almost bought them anyway, JIC but i decided to be legal instead

try amazon I saw some long rifle cases on there and I believe there were some that were 54 inches long.
Saw a CAI? Uzi carbine for $775, bucks with no mags. Wasn't sure if it was a good deal or not, I know the IMI's go for close to 2k though. No luck finding hk usp c 40 cal mags. Got a range bag for 20 bucks that was about it.

That was my first gun show and I was pretty happy with it..Ended up with a wasr Ak and a Rossi cowboy action rifle both at what I think are pretty good prices
I was a little freaked out with some of the talk about BO here on the boards...first 20 minutes of the show no smells at all...Then it started..Seems the people who stink also like to force themselves next to you when you are looking at something..This is no slight under arm odor this is full blown stink!!! WTH is wrong with some people leaving the house like that
I also found it odd that as soon as you picked up a gun it was like yelling "I found free money" I had two people get right up on us as we checked out the Rossi and two more follow us to the end of the paper work table to make sure we were buying it...Odd to say for sure

A guy at my gym, he's around 30, you can smell him 25 feet away and that's when he walks into the gym, before working out. Worst smelling person I've every seen in my life. There is no way he could smell that way from no deodorant, he's not taking showers. I bet he might take 1 or 2 showers a week and he works out at least 5 days. Last week he cam near me and I told him 'you stink dude, you need to use deodorant, you really stink'. Just looked at me obliviously and walked away. Next day stunk as bad or worse. The whole gym knows him, everyone walks away when he goes near them, walks the long way to other machines to avoid him, etc.
Sweat through a shirt working out, then put it in a zip lock bag for a month. Pull it out and it still smells better than stinky from my gym.

95% of the guns i looked at were overpriced. i didn't really see many people buying them and the ammo was worse.
Basically after 2008/Obamascare 1 the average gun show patron demographic changed completely. Vendors have changed their prices accordingly. The core target is not enthusiasts anymore, and the market is not as soft as it was 10 years ago. Based on what I've seen in the past few years, I can't blame them... would you give something away if you knew that someone would pay you a lot more for it, on average? I wish people would stop complaining about the prices, as if somehow, they are going to go back to the way they used to be- that's simply not happening. If you don't want gun show prices then don't go.
Although, I will say this much- there was a lot of tire kicking and window shopping the past 2 days, and it had nothing to do with gun or ammo prices. People just weren't buying as much as they did before, I think it's because they all blew their wads at Wilmington or at gun shops between getting their tax refund and now. One guy I was talking to who sells knives said like over 50% of his transactions were with plastic, whereas when he did Wilmington far more was cash based. That tells me people in the area have "spent their wad"
