I have enough deer jerky in the freezer.
My kids' beanie babies were long ago used as soft targets.
There is no room for cheap Chinese optics on any of my guns.
And I have enough .22 for the Zombie Apocalypse, so I don't need to pay $80 a brick.

Did I miss out on anything at the gun show this weekend?

I went last fall and skipped this weekend's "gun" show. They're going downhill every time. The beef jerky, dream catcher, home grown honey people are taking over. The best display was the mannequin wearing a hot pink halter top and cheerleader skirt. This was standing up on a table, where they were selling workout clothes. You might as well go and watch an Eric Pridz video.





Last time, there were no deals on 22. I was looking for an aluminum Colt 1911, but the few dealers that had them were over $1000. I ended up buying on online from Buds for $850 including shipping and a $25 transfer fee.










But if you're looking for a table saw blade that's painted with a three wolf montage, I'm sure you'd be in luck.



 





Instead, I took the Boy Scouts camping down by Gunnison. Then we drove ATVs over the frozen lake and dragged them around on saucer sleds.







In retrospect, it was the right choice.

Last time I went it was Feb 2013 and it was so horrible and I decided I would never go again. I haven't heard that they have been better since then

I haven't been since early last year, and this one was pretty bad.  $12 a ticket to walk around and see nothing worth buying.  I only went looking for 54r ammo and maybe some medical stuff, didn't hardly recognize any if the vendors.



The jack a in the giant hat was there, but no deals in sight on anything.  I didn't see that much of the air soft stuff as I'm used to walking past, but 6 or so people selling raw steel plates for armor?  It was a bizarre show.  Not a single person in there looked like they were interested in buying.

S&W Sport II's which is with a dust cover and forward assist. They had a drop in rail and magpul rear sight for 599$ DPMS Panthter Oracles with different sight packages for really good deals..
I spent 35$ and 11 was on some of the best Nacho's I have had in a long damn while. It was a decent show.

Literally the worst gun show I've ever been to.
