Why do you attend gun shows anymore - when there are Little to No deals anymore?

** ammo is outrageous - you can still find better deals online and when available - Wal-Mart or Academy has better pricing.

** EBR's are way out of line as well as AK's

** All you get is frustration, long lines and headaches ... to walk around and see all of the Sham Wow (Not So Wow) sales guys, the beef jerky tables, the tall tales of wanabe Viet Vets telling outrageous stories (no offense to the REAL VETS) and the smell of roasted nuts...

All that and 7 bucks of wasted money - wishing that you should have stayed home and saved time, money and effort by buying from a trusted fellow CHL - FTF.

Gun Shows are a joke right now...

That's what I'm talking about! Let's all stay away from the gun shows for awhile and let our free enterprise market correct itself. Pass the word.

I go here in Amarillo because there is not much in the way of dealers. We have Academy, Gander Mountain, and 3 mom and pop stores.

Oh the horror, why did Billy Fred's have to shut down?

I didn't load a few thousand rounds this weekend but I AM NOT going to buy overpriced ammo. If everyone would quit running around like Chicken Little screaming the sky is falling and buying all the handgun ammo in sight, there would be no shortage and the prices would return to some degree of normalcy...just like gasoline and diesel did.

Get real, neither you nor I can HORDE enough handgun ammo to stave off an assault by the local/state police, National Guard and/or the 82nd Airborne. So, why are we doing this to each other? In the immortal words of POGO, "I have seen the enemy and it is us". Let's quit HORDING the ammo and let supply and demand return the item to normal.

I've got a few bullets and a hose pipe, bring on the flame throwers.
