Ive been in contact with some guys about some antique firearms who invited me to check out their inventory at the greensboro gunshow in January. I live in Wilmington and don't want to drive over 3 hours for just a few prospects that may or may not have what I'm looking for, so I'll be looking at the other vendors as well. So how are the greensboro gunshows? If they're anything like wilmingtons S&D shows, i'll pass.

3 hours?  Not really.  It's a decent show with a different crowd of patrons than you usually get in Wilmington or Raleigh, but the dealers are mostly the same.  You should ask those guys if they go to Wilmington or Raleigh.

Nope.
Under an hour, maybe.
There's more vendors maybe, but nothing really stands out to me as better than any other show I've been to in a largish venue.

thanks for the heads up. Its such a pity. I grew up in TN and I've yet to find a gun show around here close to the caliber of the Nashville fairgrounds gun shows. you could literally find anything there.
