Are the gun shows I used to go to with Dad gone forever?

Is there even anything worth going to gun shows for? Every time I go it's the same shit. The dude next to the door selling mags. The endless tables of off-brand ARs in Kryptek camo and LCPs painted that marble-like pattern. The guy selling National Socialist memorabilia who pushes on me extra hard because he notices my fashy haircut. Miles and miles of Taurusshit everything. Literally the exact same ammo stall as the last show I went to. The guy doing some stupid real-estate raffle that has nothing whatsoever to do with guns but for some fucking reason is still here. etc etc etc. All the same shit. I remember when I was young I'd go with my dad to the show and there would always be so much cool shit, we'd be in there for the entire day. I haven't bought a gun from a show in 7-8 years maybe, some of the only good stuff I see/buy is used reloading dies for cheap, and those Damascus knives with the bone handles.

Have I just become old and jaded? Or are the old shows I used to go to with dad gone forever?

Yes, the internet killed gunshows.

The internet has made it so that gun shows don't have much of a purpose any more, at least when it comes to buying firearms.

Change is eternal.

Yeah pretty much, I went to a gunshow with my dad and it was all overpriced shit. Some dude wanted $1600 for an ar-15 painted green with an "acog" that had no illumination when the fiberoptic was covered up. I think it might have been a decent chinese fake. Thankfully I got to handle a Kel-Tec RDB as none of the other local gunshops have one and I'm probably going to order one online soon and have it transferred.

did you bang that chick?

Serious shooters don't go to gunshows. They go to gun stores.

>unironically using the term fashy

git

could've just been an acog with dead tritium

Yeah it did have the embossed trijicon logo aswell as the two sets of serials etched on the top, most Chinese fakes do not have this. He did have a chinese knockoff aluminum quadrail on it tho...

Try a smallish gun show in the country. Big city ones have always been like that.

nope same as me

I have never ever seen a nazi table (real or repro) here in Arkansas. I always feel their presence in gunshows have been embellished.

>single mom with multiracial kids is now in a screaming match with them in a isle for some reason

>did i cover the experience pretty well?

all in all not worth 10$ to get in, everything online is better quality and cheaper, and you don't have to deal with a literal horde of retards to get it

iv'e seen one, i don't think they are legit Jow Forums tier guys (as cool as that would be) and instead just gay historians looking for a buck off fake merch, see lots of commie guys lately who do match the antifa s o y profile, one was selling guy Fawkes masks lel

i forgot the isle of tacticool "ZOMBIE" shit

>>single mom with multiracial kids is now in a screaming match with them in a isle for some reason
The reason is that her nigger boyfriend told her to go buy a Glawk problem solvah for him cause he knows he won’t pass a NICS check.

gun shows have become just another dealer sales place, I miss the old days. Same with army/navy stores today just sell camping shit.

yeah the dad is probably tyrone looking at the hi-points,taurus and dracos, trying to (poorly) haggle the price down with line like

(i gib you 150$ fo it) when looking at a 300$ gun

It's aisle you hs dropout.

it's 3 a.m and I'm phone posting , retard

>he doesn’t have to ride a gondola between the dozens of isles at his local gunshow

>the only good stuff I see/buy is used reloading dies for cheap, and those Damascus knives with the bone handles.
>Complains about people selling cheap crap
>Laps up the good cheap crap

You and the others are what killed the shows. It's too easy to sell cheap crap to unsuspecting idiots.

What the fuck, are you serious? In the last 10 years I've been to probably 200 gun shows in Pennsylvania and literally every single one of them had multiple Nazi tables. Sometimes there's even like 5-6 of them in just one show when it's the bigger 1,000 table events.

This is pretty much every gunshow experience I've had in the past couple years.

>nazi memorabilia stand
>full of "authentic stuff"
>ask how I know its actually real??
>You shouldn't even have to question it!
>but in case you do heres a certificate of authentication
>its a thin slice of 8.5x11'' sheet of paper with some word press shit on it that just says "AUTHENTIC" then on the line below "Nazi medals"
>Like a fucking 5 year old did this.

This.

However, at the Maryland Arms Collector Show a lot of the sellers are so old they don't do anything on the Internet. As they get older, most stuff gets onto the tables.

But the normal gun shows? Gave up on them a long time ago

I usually go to the local eagle arms show. The past couple times have been the same people with the same stuff at the same tables, but the most recent one I went to had some really good surplus.

Nope, no reason to go to gun shows anymore, just stay home. Just go to your nearest FFL and they will have all that you need.

DURRR GUN PEOPLE AREN'T CREATIVE, SMART, OR INTERESTING??? SHOCKER.

So, how many shows did YOU create? What did YOU offer to the world? How many businesses did YOU make? How many people did YOU teach how to make a better gun show?

Typical. Do nothing, then whine that others didn't do things for you. All grown up and still a little baby. Sad.

It is 2019. Five years from now, there will be no more gun shows as The Loophole has been closed. But you can probably still find shows with gear and deacts and so on. And you guys will be whining for the rest of your life about the guns you saw but was too poor to buy back in 2019.

>And you guys will be whining for the rest of your life about the guns you saw but was too poor to buy back in 2019.

>tfw too poor to buy a johnson without saving for a whole year or burning through all of my shit hits the fan backup money.

I go to buy parts and stuff to resell online. There's always a vendor that has cheap grab-box parts and I've gotten some good ones.

>Desert Eagle mags for $5 each in his "mystery mag" bin
>authentic KAC quad rails and accessories for $20-25 in his junk bins
>random PD destroyed guns he gets somewhere that he sells for $10-20 as decorations
>that time he had an entire box of OEM Grendel accessories and magazines he sold to me for $50

There's also a kitchen table FFL that sells Jimenez pistols for $20 above his cost and he eats the tax. He always makes a lot of money when the show is in town.

I take it you work the beef jerky table

The reason you are not allowed to touch the Luger and the gold plated Tommy is that "they know what they got".

Or you can do the math. Let's say they were allowed to touch. Every fucking visitor at every show location would be pawing them. Can you make an estimate of just how much skin oil they would be exposed to, every damn show day?

Gun shows have always been like this as long as I've been going to them
You go to 10 or 20 and find one good deal

they certainly will be if you quit going to them.

imagine her smell.

thats catherina vikor, she only dates whites, only has sex for pro creation, and it's only vaginal missionary position.


she covers up her asshole and other degenerate parts.

>catherina vikor
why is she not posted anymore? She cute

>phoneposting at 3am
incel loser

I'd go balls deep in her while fingering that Enfield

Houston has a show that's pretty good, the houston fun collectors association show. They tend to have a much larger variety of stuff than the standard shows which seem to have the same generic shit every week. Came dammed close to coming home with a Browning 53 in 32-20 last show, but couldn't jew the guy down quite far enough.

i posted the generic gun show experience and mine are based on houston standard shows, maybe i should go to the one you mentioned

Literally every sizeable gunshow here in Georgia has multiple Nazi tables every time. If it's just a tiny one, then someone at least has a few things with waffenamts on them

Imagine trying to weasle your way into that family unless you're a Norwegian normie Chad.

Canuck gun shows are just as bad.
>A billion (((sporter))) Enfields, really only suitable for parts or maybe restoring
>Chinkshit EVERYWHERE
>Jerky and fudge tables
>Old fudd with a decent table, had to bite my tongue when he threw the “you probably can’t afford that” line at me over something as paltry as a $5,000 1903 with a Unertl scope
>Lots of overpriced books
>Some old G*rman guy selling nothing but parts for every gun under the sun, but he doesn’t organize anything so START DIGGING GOY
>The local “militaria” company selling overpriced dewars and misc junk, be sure to loudly shit on their selection if you visit it
>Some guy trying to push an M305A at me because “the M14 is sooo accurate, it’s the ideal DMR”
I hate local shows, but my desire to find something interesting always wins out.

The saxet show and the other one are as generic as you can imagine, the same people at the same tables with the same shit every week. Part of the problem is that they have a show every week which way too often and quickly makes people settle into a rut. The HGCA show is I think 3x per year (right before hunting season, right after hunting season, and some other time I dont remember) and is enough of an event to bring people out of the woodwork and from several hundred miles away.

The HGCA show does tend to have nazi tables, but it is a gun collector show so expect lots of ww2 stuff in general. There will also be a bunch of original black powder rifles, both cartridge and muzzle loaders, etc. Kind of like Collectors but with much better prices and a 10x larger selection.

Go to antique gun shows user. Its where real gun lovers have gone to hide from vidya fags and doomer preppers

>i don't think they are legit Jow Forums tier guys (as cool as that would be)

The idea of some drooling retard whos grandfather murdered civies in Poland and faps to concentration camp footage who came to chans after five years of shitposting bout niggers and jews on stormfront sitting selling fake Nazi tat IRL and fake baggies of human hair. Cool. Not so much. More repugnant as an unrepentant Stalinist whos granddaddy did nothing wrong in the nkvd shitback selling finger bones found at gulags

exactly that is where you see really rare and beautiful guns instead of garbage bought for y2k

>catherina vikor
she tore my heart out the first time I gazed into her eyes
