The N.H.A.C. "Gun Show" will be held on May 27, 2023 in Concord, NH

Okay, so what other show is there? True 300 table, not like the junk shows in MA. No sales tax. Is anyone willing to put up the money to promote a show? I tried. I couldn't get enough vendors/gun dealers who had ANY interest in the IDEA of a gun show. Most dealers I know have their own locations. Why would they want to move their inventory to a ONE day show.

Would anyone happen to know if this show practices the retard policy of the Mass shows I've been to, of zip tying people's carry guns (if disclosed/discovered, I mean)?

45 minutes did all the rows. Better than any MA I ever went to. No beef jerky, but lots of old rusty stuff. Didn’t buy anything cos MA sucks….but you all knew that already.

As I discovered (on both points) We probably passed in the aisles. Hopefully you're not the guy that, oh, never mind ![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
All I got was a cheesy but fun sword cane (which is probably illegal in Mass)

I was happy with my sales. I definitely believe the nice weather reduced the gate over last year. On top of that, from talking to other vendors I think the percentage of lookers was up.

You were one of the vendors? I'd have stopped in to say hi if I'd realized.

You very well might have. I talked to lots of people I didn't know.

To Blackmore's post, if more people who attended the show, signed up for a membership, with NHAC, you might've realized that many of the vendors today were/are members of NHAC. June 7th is the next NHAC meeting, being held within a mile of the ice arena. Another 2 hour gun show. It's quick but you might learn some interesting things and just might find more collectible items!

My 2 buddies and I drove 2 hours to get to the show and had a great time. Each of us spent about $300 on ammo and reloading gear. There were some deals on ammo if you shopped around. Each of us easily could have spent more. Lots of very nice firearm and accessories. Antiques to modern. Many prices were quite reasonable. The most interesting one I saw was already sold... We arrived about 10:30 and it was not overly crowded. Nice people, nice vendors. No non-firearm junk like you see at some shows. Thank you NHAC for a great show! We will be back.
