Stolen goods is part of the gunshow experience unfortunately. Sad part is most gun dealers dont have the scruples or morals to NOT sell to someone they suspect as a banger $$$ comes first then we get the black eye when they are used in a crime.

Yeah, some guy had not only a Bushie ARM, but a Calico M-100/9, and a Leader on his table.. I wonder how much paper towel, and CLP he went through just to get the fondle marks off of em..
Did see some nice old iron though.. Quite a few No5Mk1 SMLE's.. Meplat- |

Pretty decent show, even the wife enjoyed it. Now I just have to convince her to buy her own AR so I don't have to share mine. She says she doesn't want one, but her trigger finger says, "Yes, yes!"

One of the tables I was looking at that had Glock Hicaps on it the vender said he had just got ripped for 2 hicaps.
I say pay attention! or put them under glass! To many "scumbags" from south central phoenix at these shows to leave $80-$120 mags sitting at the edge of your tables. Wake up guys.... I have 9 years Security background and as I walked the show I was amazed how lax people were and how little they paid attention to who was picking up things from there tables etc....I know they have undercover police at the shows they must have all been taking coffee breaks..... rant-off John |

I saw a lot of UZIs at this show. Too many. I think I have to buy one now...
Most of the gang-banger types that I saw were making high-quality purchases like Jennings and Hi-Point firearms. I overheard a vendor telling a questionable customer not to shoot reloads or lead bullets through his shiny new Bryco 9mm. I try to be understanding of the "gangbangers" and treat them like anyone else there. I'm probably not in a position to judge, and I'll give them all a fair chance. I'm no more worried about getting hit by a stray bullet from one of them than I am by a redneck with 40 pounds of accessories on his SKS. Everyone is the same and should be welcomed into the lifestyle equally. I used to be what many would consider to be a "gangbanger", and I'm fully recovereed now.

Display cases is the only way to go on the smaller items.
I heard an announcement at one time during the show about a pistol that had been stolen on Friday night....that means it was either stolen by a vendor (or someone with a vendor) or security...or someone broke in...still makes you wonder. The gang bangers did not like my LONG shotgun with pistol grip buttstock, 8+1 mag tube, full length barrel.....had one tell his buddies that "NO, you dont want that, it is to long"...yep, to long to swing out of a car window..... |

I also went to the crossroads show, yes I saw a few gangbangers there but I also saw a few Nazi, and KKK skin heads. Now I'm not saying every white guy with a shaved head is a skinhead but the 5 or 6 I saw were all hovering around the only guy at the show with Nazi paraphernalia, so I figured they probably were Nazi skins.
S.H.A.R.P The gun show had your normal array of stuff at the crossroads show. The guy at the glockmeister table had so many people waiting for his services that he could not possible have been paying attention to the 20 or so high cap mags that were in front of him, he even tried to give me another guys credit card which I of course gave it back to him. |
