    Just drove by William Cannon and I-35 and they have a big balloon and a banner at the old Target building for the Gun Show. Kewl, I live two miles from that place.

    I think that one is the biggest rip off that there is when it comes to gun shows. These people should be put out of business.

    We went to the one in Austin this weekend. That was NOT a gun show. That was a flea market with a few bits and pieces of old guns. We did not see any major vendor there with a table or two of new handguns. Just lots of old one-offs that look like pawn shop trade-ins. I think half the tables were the usual beef jerky, leather wallets, handbags, cabinet restoration products, decorative lamps, etc. What a waste of $14. I guess I've been spoiled by the Fort Worth gun shows, which happen to be the smaller one in DFW. At the FW one, if you're looking for an XD-9sc for example, you'll find it on maybe 3-5 different tables. Sometimes more.

    What a waste of $7.00 bucks at the Austin Gun Show. What a joke. Never will go back. I was out of there in less than 15 min. End of story.

    Ok well there is plenty of space at that one... plenty of parking... I agree it was bad.. But what can we all do to increase it? Saxet is not coming back anytime soon...... So lets convince more vendors to start going and get that thing re vamped.
