Holy Crap!! 20 bucks..... I started not going when it was 10. Too many knives and purses and jewerly! and non related gun stuff.

Will they have beef jerky and camo wallets? If so I'm IN!

After the last few gun shows I attended, I wouldn't $10 for entry.

I quit going at $8...

 

[ScottDLS]

$7.53 is my absolute limit, not a penny more. $7.54 if they have beef jerky.

That was what Frisco charged. I don't know if that included parking or not, we chose TMS instead that day it was $10 and free parking, plus you could watch the time trials for whatever SCCA event was happening.

It don't matter what you're willing to pay, out of kindness I posted it for you just in case you want to go.

Dang that’s pricy. I’m not going to complain about my local $8 gun shows anymore.

You forgot, we always kill the messenger...

Perhaps the gun show is targeting Hipsters? They'd likely pay it.

The $20 question is how big is the show?
Now if it was a 3000+ table show, $20 wouldn't be bad for both days.
If it's under 500 tables, not worth the drive.

It ain't but about 15 miles for me.

Boat-in gun show...
Perfection.
All your purchases can be lost when boating out!

$20.00?

If that includes a double meat/cheeseburger and fries...if not, you won't see me paying a cover charge for that amount for a gun show where I'll enjoy the privilege of seeing a lot of chinese el cheapo knives and moldy old knick knacks and over priced ammo.

There's a competing gun show (High Caliber) at the Lone Star Convention Center on the same weekend for $10. Less than 30 minutes apart.

You can go to both of them, see the same caliber of gypsies, thieves, and self-anointed firearms experts, along with every purse, jewelry, eye-glass cleaning, and homemade jerky vendor in SE Texas. Afterwards you can kick yourself in the butt and swear you'll skin yourself alive before you'll ever do that again.

And us old timers will regale you with stories about how we remember when you could go to a gun show and get a couple of vendors competing over the price of a gun so that we ended up with an actual bargain, and how we used to buy bulk ammo there and it was cheap.

If you're at Lone Star, look for my old friend Stan Buzek selling his knives at the back. He makes beautiful knives and has won a number of awards at knife shows.

I like to find those dealers that never look up from playing on their phones and then ask them stupid questions. "Do you have a Glock with a nickel finish all over it?" "I have my granddad's old Luger he got during the war. He said he paid a guy $50 for it. Do you think I could get that much for it if I sell it here?" "My neighbor said he bought a nine-and-a-half caliber pistol here last year. Do you know which table is selling them?" "Can you show me how to make a silencer from a Coke bottle?"
