Sorry about not being able to handle BBQ very well.....after loosing my gallbladder several years ago, after good greasy properly made BBQ i wind up emitting biological weapons........
Seriously, will be good to see everyone. When i was setting up for the Tyler gunshow today, someone said they saw the Tyler Fire guys removing fire safety stuff from Harvey Hall-some of the built in hoses and stuff they said. The building attendants i talked to said they have already moved most of the office stuff out of the building, and things are starting to get stripped in preparation for demolition. We are going from a show of over 600 tables to about 225 tables, and the first show in about 18 months or so. Even though it is a different company, i hope it goes very well tomorrow. It's about 0120 now, about to get to bed finally. Been getting all the gear ready to take it there in the morning. |

Those were some narrow aisles today in Tyler. Smaller show of course, but still lots of old and new. Lots of ammo if you want to pay their price. One dealer wanted $2300 for his Deagle. Said it’ll be $2600 at Big Town next week.

19-20 June
Mesquite Big Town - Premier - backbencher & RebleYell have tables. Dinner TBA, but likely Soulman's or Texas Roadhouse. The Mesquite venue has been sold & will be closing, so if there's something you've always admired on a small vendor's table, might grab it - Rodeo won't fit so many vendors, and Dallas Market Hall has gone away. 26-27 June Fort Worth Will Rogers - Premier - backbencher has a table.

Has there been any discussion of a replacement in Dallas for Market Hall or is Dallas a done deal? I'm sure the owners of the Hall have been getting huge pressure from the city to shut these shows down. However, they brought this on themselves by not controlling the security of the parking lots.
 It's hard to believe a city the size of Dallas doesn't have a venue that will allow gun shows.

Other than Mesquite Big Town & Tulsa, I've not seen any other shows, from Tyler to Cleburne concerned about the behavior of their punters in the parking lots. Dallas brought this on itself by allowing their school district to go to shit and not adequately policing their youth. It's not Premier's fault. DACA was looking for an alternate venue a few years ago & came up w/ Southfork. Big Town is finally going away; unless there's an empty warehouse standing around somewhere that Amazon hasn't snatched up, w/ a lot of parking, there's just not a lot of venues that large. There's the Dallas Convention Center, which won't allow ammo sales - probably a good third of vendors @ the moment are ammo dealers. |

At one time, they would sell you a beer, but no ammo.  I'd love to go to the shows in Ft. Worth but I'm not sure if the statute of limitations will let me back in Tarrant county yet.

That may be in violation of state law now, as cities are not permitted to discriminate against gun businesses, IIUC. See you @ the Mesquite show, and in two weeks, come to Tarrant county & just wear a mask.

Yep, a bummer that Market Hall went away. And now, with Big Town about to bite the dust, the only other good "Dallas area" show (IMO) is the one at Southfork, in Parker. Good show, but small, of course. DACA/Southfork's remaining published dates for this year, from gunshowtrader.com, are Aug 7th – 8th, and Oct 23rd – 24th. (The dallasarms.com site is apparently being remodeled since it doesn't come up when I checked it a few minutes ago.)

Works for me. Are you our AR parts guy @ all the shows?
I think Waxahachie is a better show than DACA. Premier is going back to the Mesquite Rodeo, Allen is still going, and they have the occasional Texas Motor Speedway show, albeit those are best outside summertime. I don't think they'll do the North Richland Hills ice rink show again. Still, that leaves Premier w/ 5 regular shows in the D/FW area, with plenty more small shows from East Texas, to the Oklahoma border, to Abilene. |

On the show situation---no intent to rag on any of the shows, but how I see the locations as good (or not) depends on whether the drive is easy (or not), decent parking, and how many car burglaries there have been lately. That takes a few off my list, usually lousy parking. Or a 100+ mile round trip. |

That takes a few off my list, usually lousy parking. Or a 100+ mile round trip. Ah. That depends on where you live & how bad you're addicted to gun shows - I drove more than 2 hours to Tyler Saturday. FW Will Rogers has good parking, but it's $10. Big Town had some car burglaries a few years back, but then Premier started putting up the cop tower during the show, and I just park as close as I can to that. I do the same in the FW garage - park as close as I can to the ticket takers. Mesquite Rodeo should be good for parking, even if they develop the giant field out front - there's plenty of parking on the N & W sides of the complex. Waxahachie has good parking, it just sucks that Hwy 187 is under construction and I always forget to go all the way over to I-35E. Allen has that garage there, and the Speedway show has, uh, unlimited parking. DACA has enough parking, it's just a pain in the ass to get there, to see a smallish medium show. |

Got there (Big Town) at 8:48 and was in the show at 9:10. I had two objectives, sell a S&W 610-2 Lew Horton and buy a Rare Breed trigger. Failed on both. Only one vendor from Katy had the trigger, but he wanted $500 for it. Ammo price is coming down. More POS pot metal knives than I’ve ever seen.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TxLewis: Maybe we could get them to pave the parking lot. Yeah, right At this point I'm grateful they have a roof & an occupancy license after losing Market Hall. Given what they make on gun shows, I don't see them repaving anytime soon. What I wish we could get to is a show every two-three weeks @ the same location, so that if someone gets a delay on Sunday, they can pick it up @ the same place from the vendor @ the next show w/o the NICS check expiring. Even if it's not the same gunshow vendor. We have that situation some of the time in Fort Worth, albeit Lone Star's a smaller show. But w/ two big anchor shows in the Metroplex @ opposite ends to each other, the big shows could alternate every two weeks, with the smaller shows sitting up on the opposite side that weekend. Particularly w/ Constitutional Carry hitting 1 Sept, demand for guns will increase, while LTC enrollment will decrease, making the NICS situation worse. |

My initial impression was that it had been sold & was headed to becoming a warehouse. The scuttlebutt I got from the last show was that the building was going to be refurbished w/ a new roof & a few interior updates, then reopened early next year. With Market Hall gone, I'm sure Premier will do everything they can to keep that contract. |

From the Startlegram:
A person accidentally fired a weapon at a gun show on Saturday in Fort Worth, and the projectile ricocheted and struck a woman’s foot, authorities said. The woman was shot indoors about 4:45 p.m. at the Will Rogers complex in the 3400 block of West Lancaster Avenue, Fort Worth police said. She was taken to a hospital with an injury that police said was not life-threatening. A police spokesman said that he was not certain what type of gun was involved, and said it was not clear whether the person who was handling the weapon stayed at the scene. |

Dealer claims he shoots all his guns to insure function. Had a PSA Punter picks up gun, pulls trigger. Round hits concrete floor, ricochets two aisles over and hits a vendor in her foot. Bounces into her thigh. Hoping she won't lose a toe. Waiting to hear from Striker if I can post the GoFundMe, she doesn't have health insurance and works as a barmaid.

Either way, given how many people were in that area we are very lucky that someone wasn’t actually killed. The table behind the guy had 2-3 people sitting with their back to that table all day. This was my last show for a while as my daughters goat jackpotting shows start next weekend and that’s gonna take all my free weekends and money i would be spending on cool guns walking by until next March. 2-5 minutes after the shot went off.

Given that w/ Endomags, the ejector is a part of the magazine, I can believe it. This has been a thing w/ AR-9s going back to the removable magwell adapter days.
If the ejector can be removed from the gun, some idiot will remove it. I don't believe the dealer actually got hold of PSA customer service on a Saturday evening after 5 PM CDST, nor was the gun defective. The dealer didn't know how to correctly operate the gun he was selling. |

I had a table at the back right hand side of the hall, or the north east corner this past weekend. I left before the ND. As I was driving out of gate 42, three Ft Worth pd squad cars nearly ran me over getting to the scene. That shitshow went down too damn close to my table. Glad I left early. Guy at the table next to me said it was loud and he could smell the gun powder.

You gonna be @ the upcoming Lone Star FW show? I haven’t decided on getting a table for that show yet. I will be out there as I’ve got to drop off some ammo to a vendor that got a wildcat cartridge rifle from me last weekend. If I get a table I’ll IM you. If nothing else I’d like to meet up with you guys after at whatever restaurant and have a beer or 2. |

RebleYell told me it was my turn to pick, so of course we're going to Railhead for the Lone Star show. If you're going to the Allen show, or will be in the area, ping Lug1 about his night of Wonder - it's going to be an ARFCOM Night of Meat... |

Added September to the OP, found a few new promoters I'd never heard of before. If y'all hear about an upcoming gun show that isn't listed, a show is cancelled, or the dates change, please drop me an IM and I'll update the OP as soon as I can.
