I went Sunday afternoon. I was a little shocked that parking was so bad and there were so many people still there at 2pm when I got there. I went about the same time last show and had no issues finding parking and the crowds were thinner. I checked out the new section first. It felt kind of strange in there, no idea why. I did see more gun dealers then I recall with several being ones I do not recall ever seeing before. There were also several more junk dealers. I thought it was proportional to what the ratio of gun stuff to junk had been before. I like QT but really did not see anything to get excited about at their tables. Maybe I missed it.
A couple other observations. The dealers I had not seen before seemed to have outrageous hand gun prices. I wonder how they sell anything with other dealers like Trader Jerrys there. The guy selling Gemtech ammo with the Gemtech sign, anybody know anything about him? That was all he was selling. When I first walked by I thought it was Gemtech at the show but then realized he did not appear to have any relationship to Gemtech even though it appeared he was trying to look like he was with Gemtech? Saw three different dealers within a few minutes reporting to VSP people acting suspicious and trying to buy guns. First time I had seen this but I also have no idea what was "suspicious" about the people they were reporting.
I did pick up a new handgun that I had been looking for. So was happy by the time I left.
And for the dealers that want to add 3% credit card fees to sales without telling the buyer you are doing so .....you all can eat a big bowl of dicks. Luckily I realized the total was too high and asked before handing over my credit card. And to be clear, I have no issues with dealers that add the fee when they tell you from the get go they do so.
