Wanamachers gunshow

[Steve2020]

When was the last time Wanamachers was held?

any chances for this March ?

 

[cjjtulsa]

A year ago November, and I hope to hell they have the next one. But with the COVID paranoia, I'm not too optimistic for the April show.

 

[MilitantBEEMER]

Yes, November 2019 was the last show.
I would imagine that the March 2021 show is unlikely due to the pending new administration and there COVID lockdown plans....

Probably so.

It might be that gun shows go back to how they were waaaayy back when I was young. A few old boys with guns put out the word, rented a hall, set up some tables and guys paid a couple bucks top participate. I really liked that better, anyway. Got a lot more variety, and no beanie babies or other nonsense. Basically every transaction was "private collection", because dealers were the minority.

This Wuhan panic may bring out the best in us yet. The timid can stay at home and get fat and slow. Keep the rest of us up on DWTS and whatnot.

A few old boys with guns provided a lot more variety ? How can you say that? You obviously haven't been to the big show.

That's true, I haven't. In fact, I'm not really from Tulsa, nor do I have any guns.

I should have been clearer, I suppose. Instead of tables lined with loads of new production stuff, I'd see more C&R, interesting stuff. Of course Wannenmachers has that abundance of out-of-state variety, but you have to wade through a ton of crap to get to it.

It's always interesting to hear folks say they don't go to gun shows, and then attempt to tell you what is at the shows that they don't go to. I have been going to shows since the late 80's and I cannot think of a show that I did not enjoy. Some better than others, but none as bad as listening to folks complain.

I'm just glad we all have the ability and right to enjoy them if we want----------at least for now!!

Everyone should go to the big show once...just because.
