Yesterday at the Gun Show

[dynok9k]

Well, I went to the gun show yesterday and while it was a nice outing, it was not as good as the last time I was there in May. I was really hoping to find something I have been looking for while there, but I left empty handed. A lot of the dealers that I am used to seeing there weren't there this time around, I don't know if they just retired, weren't able to get a place at the show, or just don't want to participate anymore since the attendance has dropped off some from what it used to be. I don't expect them to have as many shows next year, it's a sad situation. I used to go there and find old guns that were interesting and very reasonably priced. Now, when I do see the rare something that I am interested in it is overpriced, and I can get a better deal elsewhere, and ammo is the same way. I miss the old days.

The next show is in November, but I'm going to go to a local store and order what I was looking for in a couple of weeks. I am almost out of my buying phase as I have most of what I want already, but I still have a couple of things I would like to get before shuuting down my collecting phase of the hobby.

Also, the rain is getting annoying around here, the drive there and back was rough.
