We locals are probably a bit jaded about the Suncoast shows.
It's dominated/owned by one regional vendor, Shoot Straight, who has a polarizing effect on people around here. Like all shows, it runs a circuit and once you've been to a couple on that circuit, you know who's there and what they normally carry so you start filter out the sameness. Coming in from out of state... They're ALL new vendors to you! You'd probably have a lot better time at the show than us folks who've been to it before just because it's not all the same-ol' same-ol' to you! |

It's a good sized show, and coming in from out of the area, you'll get your money's worth looking around.

Thanks Guys. I figured coming from here it's anything better then we have. Just wanted to make sure it was not a bust of a show since it's about a Hour or so from the Mouse area.

As a former "exhibitor" I say go, you'll get a few laughs from the goofballs wandering around and most likely enjoy it overall.
   BTW - it's $6 to park and $10 at the door. |

You'll find the show a wonderment and want to relocate to Florida after attending.

Joezeta as some others have pointed out it is dominated by shoot straight. i don't know anyone who loves shoot straight, but the one thing i can say about them is they will have just about one of every new gun made, and you can really beat 'em up on their used guns after they have been in store for 6 months or more.
as a guy from a ban state you'll be like an 18 year old his first time in a full friction strip club wearing jogging pants.

I go mainly to people watch, and I used to work with a couple of vendors so I stop by their tables to say hey.

Lots of guns that would make Andrew Cuomo weep. Enjoy.

About the only store I've seen than can touch them is Shooters World, and its just one location. |

What, No love for Khaled?
I had a buddy that once worked for him, and they had a code on the back of every tag that would let the associate know how low they could go. I think he said it was based on some Lebanese saying or some shit. I have no idea if he was full of shit or not. |

Well I went to the show yesterday and man it was packed. Walking around like sardines. Practically impossible to get near a table to actually see anything.

When they were late opening the doors I thought there was going to be an old man riot.
Bought my powders, looked at the private sales walking around (saw a fugly franken-Garand), and left by 10:15. |
