I wonder if it's going to be packed with panic buyers and ATF watching for potential terrorists?

Wonder if it's even worth the struggle this year.  

May just go so I can to talk to Gentec, been trying to contact them for two weeks.

Not going near that mess.

I'm pretty well set up, can't think of any reason to deal with the crowds, parking, or prices.

I was there today, it wasn't bad. I'll be going back tomorrow, I expect it to be a madhouse.

Decided that for $18 a person and $15 to park i will go to cabelas instead.

$51 for two adults to park and walk in the door is robbery.

I stand corrected. But $26 to get in line and walk into a gun show is WAY to much money to look at crap i wont buy at gun show prices.

I went yesterday. Supplies of reloading components and ammo were better than I thought, and prices at Miwall very reasonable. Picked up a few bargains, which is always a pleasant surprise. Said hello to a lot of old friends, which makes the day worthwhile even if I buy nothing.

One thing that did piss me off: Senator John McCain had the  effrontery to have his minions at the show asking for votes to put him on the ballot... just days after voting to fuck us all with "universal background checks" (aka federal gun registration, closing the gunshow loophole) . I would have signed for one of his primary opponents (also there) but wanted to do my homework on who is best first.

It's pretty busy at the moment. Surprised to see Wolf Gold .223 at $290/k or $280/k for more than 2k.

Someone was shot by a 45 at the show about 15 minutes ago, no details.
Was just talking to my son & GSL who were a few feet away when they heard the shot. Appears to be unintentional.

They weren't going to do shit. There were a few other people waiting before I even showed up. They just weren't making a big enough deal about it to even get the show people to call over the load speaker to move the cars. Glad I could help them with it. I stopped on my way out and demanded my parking fee back. They did give it back.

I'm still going WTF along with Rich_V's kid. Behind my back and two feet away.

I'll send you an IM later asking for a number so we can finish our discussion that obviously got interrupted, sir.

ETA: He's in stable condition at the hospital last I checked.

News story describes the gun as a semi auto...


http://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/fd-man-shot-at-arizona-state-fairgrounds-phoenix-police-investigating


The initial word was that is was a .45, others are saying 7.62 Tok. The TT-33 Tokarev looks somewhat like a 1911...
Lots of confusion and conflicting info.
12/5/2015 9:25:24 PM EDT

Was not a revolver. It was 7.62x25. It was either a tt33 or a or CZ 52.
12/5/2015 9:32:34 PM EDT
[#35]
Lots of stories from different folks.  Most stories are that it was a Tokarev 7.62x25 that was purchased by the son of vendor outside the SAR building who then purchased a box of ammo.  Took it back to his table and the father zip tied the trigger with a round in the chamber.  In the lower left lung, nicked spine and out the upper left lung, front to back.  No one seems to know how the cartridge got in the chamber.  Some reports of the round ending up in the ceiling.

I may just be done with gun shows. I really enjoy finding deals meeting up with guys like you and Freebear, but lately they've just been a punch list of talking points for liberals.

How about i wasnt at the gun show and i dont know who you are? But now that i know the name of your company i will be sure to stick with P3DT targets. Your response was a great clue to the question of who to not do business with.
