Spent a couple of hours there on Saturday. Had a good time. I was looking for a new revolver but things were a little pricey. May make another attempt there again today. Ammo was high. Could not pull the trigger on buying any ammo.
Had fun Saturday. Guns were a little pricey, even the ones you can buy cheaper at Academy right down the road. I was surprised to find as much 9mm as I did, and while it wasn't cheap, it wasn't anymore than buying online right now (and no shipping). I did buy a couple of boxes of zombie ammo. I couldn't resist, and it is a good defensive ammo and was still less than a buck a round. Saw some 22lr for about ten cents a round. Not exactly cheap, but better than the forty cents a round it's priced at right now online. My son had fun too and added another pocket knife to his collection.
Ammo seemed to be right about what is online. Did see some stupid high prices on .22LR. Bought a M&P 40 for pretty much retail, but oh well, its nice.
I would have to say that this show was busier than the last Norman show for sure. We went on Saturday and it was packed! Nothing more to add than others, but I did enjoy watching the blacksmith. I was with a friend so we moved on, but I could watch that blacksmith pound on stuff and smell that burning coal for hours.

There was a blacksmith?! That sounds awesome! Never seen that at a gunshow!
The show wasn't bad at all. I spent some time with a friend behind one of the tables. I started listening to these two older men lie to the customers. They would see someone come walking by and buy their gun. They'd put a price on it and put it on the table.
Another customer would come by and the lies started. "I'm not a dealer, all these guns are in my name". They just bought this gun from a stranger 10 minutes earlier. "That's a real good shooter, I've had it a long time and I really hate to see it go".
A few minutes after the new owner walks away, it starts all over again. This may be the way things really are, but I feel it gives dealers and vendors a bad reputation.

I'm sure it is. I'm sure it dates back to the first bead/trinket/skin/weapon sold and resold. Caveat emptor is pretty old advice. Doesn't make it go down any easier though.
