I attended a "gun auction" in Canton, TX. last Saturday night. Started at 5 pm and ended at 11 pm. Then took an hour more for paperwork/checkout.
I bought a Marlin 22 mag rifle and a Ruger SP 101 357 2"bbl, and a Walther "Creed" 9mm.
All were new in the box.
A packed house!!!! I mean all seats were full, and most likely all were "carrying concealed".
Security was also everywhere !!!!!!! Very safe and well run. I'll go again sometime.
