I may show up tomorrow for the day if the roads are cleared enough for safe travel.

Lots of empty tables and a light crowd. I took about 50 pictures of a treaty rifle, bought 25 pounds of RE17 and went home.

It's snowing harder now. Zeus likes it.:lol:

I may go back tomorrow too. I want to get a second look at a shotgun that I should have bought today.

I also want to look for a loophole. No one had any today.

decision made - staying home. Kids are sick, wife's away, heat is on the blink, truck's buried in snow, lots of paperwork to do.

I'll be a good vendor though and pay my table fee. First gun show I've missed in a long, long time.

Skid driving me riding shotgun, we led an out of towner to the show from Willis Rd to the Racetrack through and around beautiful church hill. :uhoh: It was scenic. :p

Saw Kennys and his whole family there, talked with "Little Joe" and ignored Dark Sun.

Lusted for a gorgeous S & W mod.58 .41 mag - it was pristine!

I went back and picked up the ML double barrel. There were less people than yesterday and everyone was willing to deal just for gas money. Looks like the show was a bust for all the vendors. The how promoter wasn't happy either. She said that made three weekend shows that Mother Nature had ruined.

Proshooter....should have gone. The Roads are clear:banghead:

Toured around the show Sunday afternoon for about 2 hours. Lots of open tables and very light crowd. Bought a few holsters and accessories which is what we were after anyway. Roads had been well cleared.

I wanted to go but couldn't. Had to work. Hopefully I'll have my tax refund by the time the Doswell show comes up. :D

My wife and I decided to go on Sunday. Really not crowded, and many empty tables. Picked upa couple hundred rounds of .22 CCI MiniMags and a chinese boonie hat for my wife for gardening. Saw a ex-sniper Mosin Nagant 91/30 at Liberty Arms but SWMBO nixed that. Oh well, next time
