I went early to meet someone I sold a pistol brace to.
About 9:30 they had a guy with head wound in cuffs in a chair surrounded by 3 cops. Right inside the main entrance. Scuttlebutt was he charged in without paying or checking his Glock shouting at some woman, tripped and fell injuring himself then cops picked him up. |

You guys know how to do a gun show.
Sorry I didn’t make it to the meet up. I didn’t get there till Sunday afternoon. Interesting to see so many women there. NY and PA shows typically have two or three women there and one is usually with me. I’m finding prices are lower in TX and didn’t I find the pistol I’ve been looking for while I was there and can’t buy. Looking forward to many more to come. |

1-2 September
Gainesville Glen Rose Henderson Lewisville All relatively small shows this Labor Day weekend. DeathHates, how was your local show? Had a good time in FW, but forgot and wore my cowboy boots - my dogs were barking by the time I walked the entire show. |

For me, gun shows are like walking through a museum, but I get to handle most of the exhibits and if I really want one, I can take it home. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By backbencher: It's a pretty small show. There's an AR parts guy who's usually there. What parts are you looking for? - powder - butt stock options for offhand use, or pad with traction that is not too wide - I have not bought a new knife for a while - bratwurst - pistol hanger options for limited space in my safe - more bratwurst |

8-9 September
Greenville Itasca Mesquite Rodeo (Premier) Quitman Mesquite Rodeo is a decent show, a bit larger than Premier's Lewisville show last weekend, not nearly as big as their Mesquite Big Town show. @Raider14 you wanna give us a report on the Itasca show? |

Never been to the Itasca show but was thinking of going up there on the 9th. The Hilco building there isn't all that big plus it's Itasca...so there probably won't be a bunch of stuff going on if I had to guess.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gopher: Was it next to the table run by the John Birch Society? I saw that once at the old Dallas Convention Center back in the 80's. It was rather uncomfortable. I was actually 30 ft back up the next aisle after making the u-turn at their table when I said to myself, "wait a minute... was that ATF?" Backed up and sure enough. I remember seeing Border Patrol at a few Big Town shows, but I don't remember seeing ATF before. The other disappointment of the show involved a small American Flag laying in the middle of one of the aisles. It was one of those little 4" x 6" flags that people give away to be patriotic. As I was coming down the aisle, I could see it from about 50-60 ft away (yeah, it wasn't that busy). I was not pleased to see 5 people walk right by it. When I stooped over to pick it up, a guy at the table right next to the flag gave me a "why did you bother?" look. Seriously... WTF? |

Bonham Dallas Market Hall I'll be @ Dallas probably on Saturday, depends on how FW_wife is feeling. I realize the Market Hall show is down from prior years, but DACA understands they have a problem and are trying to work on it. Their President and two other officers were @ the last Fort Worth show. Anyone got any suggestions for lunch? |

I'm not up to walking Market Hall yet so I might hit up Bonham. Usually pretty small and not much there but it's a good place for floor trades.

What is the parking situation at the Dallas show?
I’m not entirely committed to paying an extra $10 to park just to go look at things I can’t buy because I have a temporary paper ID. |
