Frequent gun shows at the Fairgrounds and Abba Shrine Club. Both are on or near Schillenger Rd. There's a couple of shops/ranges in that area also. Not far away a several decent Florida panhandle shows plus the shows in Gulfport, Biloxi, and Hattiesburg (2/11/12/12) less than 100 miles from Mobile. Mobile Press Register newspaper has a few bargains pop up in the classified from time to time. Go a few extra miles to the Alabama Gun Collectors Association shows in Birmingham for some really good stuff....and of course national championship football for when you ain't doing gun stuff.
