Gun Show Promoters
« on: February 25, 2007, 03:22:51 AM »
Have to get this off of my chest, and see if any of you feel the same way. The gun shows are looking more and more like flea markets all the time. I don't have a problem paying $5.00 to get into a GUN SHOW, but when they are advertized as a gun show and I see flea market stuff, it bothers me. Good example is a fellow that runs a couple of shows in the northeastern part of Ohio, calls them gun shows. Well let me tell you, when I cruise the show and see tables with NOTHING BUT work gloves on them or FISHING LURES, or believe this BEENIE BABIES I see red mister. I confronted his promoter one time and since then have not gone to any of his shows. Ohio Gun Collectors has moved to Cincinnati so the drive from the northeast is a poke. Medina and the two show a year Massillon are the only ones left. Some people love guns and other people love the money that guns generate for them. Anyway, just wanted to know if any of you guys feel the same way about this. RRM

I refuse to go to the show in Montpelier for that same reason.

The Tri State Gun Col. show here in Lima has a rule that all tables MUST have guns or shooting related items , this is to keep the flea marketers out .

It is still a good show and getting bigger every year , over 3 buildings full of tables at the last show .
