    I'm not saying it's not worth it. I am commenting on it being up 40% in the last few years.

    Nah, it's just not worth the admittance fee anymore.

    I used to hear that the shows in Jacksonville and Lakeland were good, but honestly haven't heard any reports on out-of-town gun shows in a long time.

    I have heard the same about both shows. I went to the Jacksonville show several years ago (1999) and spent 3 hours just trying to see all of it one time. I didn't have time to go back and take a second look at anything. I don't mind spending 7 or 8 bucks to look at guns, ammo and other random stuff. I don't buy much anymore, but I do like to window shop.

    I was thinking about it, and I've only bought guns at a show a few times, and they were all the Fair Grounds show in Tallahassee. Bought a pistol in '86 and a rifle and a pistol in '92 (right after Clinton got elected). So, it's been 23+ years since I bought a gun at a show. Sold or traded a few at shows in recent years, but that was at the short-lived Tallahassee Mall Show.

    Does anyone remember there being a vendor at the December gun show who was "going out of business," and was selling their items at an extreme discount? Turns out I purchased a counterfeit Magpul MS3 sling from them. There were in the first building 2nd to last row from the back (away from the door) and towards the opposite corner of the building as the entrance. I bought my items from a woman.
