Some of my fondest childhood memories were gunshows in community centers or Holiday Inn Convention centers in the Midwest in the early to mid 80s. I was a young kid at the time, and seeing all of the surplus guns, clothing, machineguns, and other gunshow oddities was the highlight of my young life. I absolutely fell in love with guns then, between tv shows like the A-Team, Airwolf, Knight Rider, and seeing guns in those shows in person. When dad said were were going to the gunshow I got more excited about that than I did my birthday and Christmas morning combined. Those were the golden days man. It was absolutely glorious.
Is it worth going to gun shows? Only if you have a time machine.

If you're wanting to handle alot of different guns it's definitely worth it, if you're wanting a good deal from a vendor they're hard to find imo, last time I went the ammo was overpriced and so were the guns, that was about 2 years ago
Another vote for the old days, but not these days. The only gun shows I have enjoyed the last few years were the ODT shows. Part of that is because of being able to see friends, some of which you have never met in person but feel like you know. I stopped going to the other shows a few years back cause I didn't find a lot that was special and CERTAINLY never found good deals. Other folks will disagree because there is still a lot of people that go to all of them.
I try and go to Greenville SC in December every year and I go to Clarksville if I’m near doing anything! I usually find good deals at both. Don’t really need anything but a good deal is always worth investing in.
It's all the flea market stuff that makes it bad. I think good deals have always been hard to find. The best quality shows are the largest ones. Not many large in Georgia like I'm talking about. The ODT shows have always been worth it. They were a bargain to start with, but like everything else have been creeping up in price
Standing next to big fat sweaty mouth breathers who crowd you and crowd you ,while non stop talking to the vendors about their uncles old gun collection they have at home in a closet..blah blah blah..
Oh. Yeah. Well worth the admission price.
