Gun shows

[Jwages]

What happened to the gun shows in the DFW area? There used to be one in Mesquite just about every month.

I believe the panic-demic happened.

Still going on in FTW and surrounding.

I'd probably guess the "pandemic" has put a lot of events on hiatus for a while. Some may never recover to return.

Market Hall got shut down because of "teens" shooting it out in the parking lot.

Lewisville lost its location. Still a big one in Allen about every 4 months.. Big Town 2 times a year... Mesquite Rodeo Arena same, Waxahachie couple times a year.
The city of Ft. Worth has managed to almost put the "Original FW Gun Show" out of business gouging visitors for Parking - which is blocks away from the show.
Bottom line is lots of the shows have become a one day store front for dealers catering to preppers, or somebody needing a knife sharpened. Good prices are a thing of the past. You can usually do better at Bud's or on Gun Broker.

Funny I wrote almost the same thing in a recent gun show post...and the Lewisville version was the best of them to me.

I have done two smaller shows in the last month. One in Cisco (at the very first Hilton Hotel) and one in Ballinger. Cisco had about 30 tables and Ballinger had about 60. Decent turn out and, for me, decent sales at both.

I gave up on gun shows years ago. The local one's (Kerrville, S.A., Fredericksburg,,etc.) had a group of "sellers" that thought their stuff was gold. They had superiority attitudes around here in the smaller towns.

Parker County Sportsman’s Club out near Poolville has a swap meet every few months.

It’s not big, but it’s fun like shows used to be before dealers took them over: a lot of enthusiasts swapping & selling stuff.

Isn't that how most sellers at gun shows are? I used to go more for the experience and to look for the random good deal, or if I wanted to buy a bunch of something that avoiding shipping made it worth it (like 50 cal cans).
