LoneStar Gun show .. Any good?

[Bigboy2014]

Anyone have any reviews of the Lone Star gun show going on right now at the Will Rogers? How about parking, free?

I haven't been in several years but if I recall it was no better or worse than market hall, big town, mesquite or Allen. Parking I think was free but even if it isn't, when spending on a firearm what's $10; the .gov takes far more on the purchase.

I was kind of let down by lonestar. As stated its exactly the same as every other show. big town, lewisville... even market hall. Only one side of the event center was filled. the other side had some knife booths but was not maxed out. I saw basicallly the same vendors you see at every show. Same for Market hall this year. Same people only slightly larger.

My last attempt at going to a gun show will be the Houston show next month. I do feel bad for some of the vets and old timers who have to pay 80 dollars for a table. Lots of even used guns are WAYYYYY over priced.

I would place Market Hall over that one. They do have a big show, Hunters Extravaganza every year. That is a good one.

My favorite one is Big Town. Lots of vendors, fair price to get in, and it seems I can always find a deal there.

Promoter of show means more than location. Dallas market hall is probably best DFW show, but is only twice a year (there are other shows but not major ones). Then you have Premier promoted which are usually larger. Then Lonestar. I like Mesquite, but it's a drive. There used to be some really good smaller promoters that worked well together, but they all got in a childish fight with each other and got kicked out of a lot of venues and are horrible now. I'm hitting up Tulsa when I can.

The Dallas Arms Collectors Assoc. Inc. has 4 Market Hall gun shows this year, they have had 5 a year at Market Hall the prior 8 years. If you join or renew your NRA membership at the show, you'll get $10 off the membership fee and free admission to the show.

Parking at Ft Worth isn't free. Regulated by the City and usually 10 dollars. Lone Star While a good show isn't like Premier

Don't go to the Cowtown shows if you need powder...

I went to the one at Ft. Worth a few weeks ago. Got a great price on a complete upper. There were a lot of vendors.

What is the biggest show in the DFW area ?

I think there are a couple:

Market Hall shows are pretty big.

Some of the shows at Will ROgers in Ft Worth are big.

My favorite bang for my buck is the Hunters Extravaganza in Ft Worth. Its usually August or September I think.
