I thought about going to the local gun show this morning but then thought better of it. Given the current state of affairs I figured the crowd would be huge. And I wasn't really in the mood to be nuts to butts with people who take personal hygiene as an afterthought. After reading some of the posts on local board I am very glad I didn't. It's only gonna get worse.....
Went with a buddy to walk around, got in the parking lot and turned around. Probably about a thousand people in line out the door, no joke. Al the way wrapped around the perimeter of the parking lot.
Was there at 9am. There were people lined up 5-6 deep around 3 sides of a LARGE parking lot. Well over a thousand people outside waiting to get in. If there were NO tables in the building, all the people in the parking lot could not fit inside the building.
My brother and I got there at about 9:40 or so. We waited (and froze) in the line for about an hour to get in. They had two policemen at the front door, and would shut and lock the entrance periodically, and count people leaving. After 20 people left, they'd unlock the doors and let 20 in. If you were inside and walked out for a smoke, forget getting back in, even with a hand stamp!
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry was there walking around with their AR's, all asking in the 2500-3000 range for them. The cheapest AR I saw at a dealer's table was a plain-jane bushmaster for $1600... and it sold a couple minutes after I saw it. I saw a guy sell a 3rd gen Glock 17 in the parking lot for $800!
