I just returned from a gun show in Clearwater Florida put on by 2 guys llc. $7 admission free parking. All I can say is what a pleasure. Its a smaller show about 90 tables but all guns and some knives no flea market **** no strollers no screaming kids just polite gun people. Plenty of S&W's and some very realistic pricing. I actually saw probably 5 times the amount of S&W's that I saw at the Suncoast fiasco in Tampa. All in all a very pleasant afternoon.

Good to hear, and glad that YOU "enjoyed" it...they are what they are, to different folks, and often the complaints are when the shows get that big, the promoter needs to sell all of those tables and they tend to let some "questionable" table holders in (junk, food stuff,whatever..) but I've been to Tulsa, gotta be about the biggest show in the country and there too I've seen $30,000 dollar longuns,on a table next to artwork, and AVON bottles ( or scented candles...) go figure
The show is what you make it, and one must find some "gem" or goodie to make it worthwhile...............

i gave up on the large national gun day show in louisville ky several years back because it had just gotten to the point that it was two big and expensive to enjoy, but there are several good smaller show circuts here in ky that i still frequent and enjoy

Our big show (Wash Arms Collectors) at least tries to keep all the junk dealers in one area. They don't always succeed but, for the most part, there's a section that can be skipped if you're not interested in that stuff.
