Biggest crowd I've ever seen at a gun show

[Breakaway500]

Ive been going to gun shows for over 40 years and yesterday in Marlboro Ma I saw the biggest attendance there ever. We arrived at 9am and there was a line waiting to get in,which is not unusual,however this line was at least a 45 minute wait. Good thing it wasn't raining etc. We had a friend who got us vendors passes so we got right in.

The usual vendors were there and most space was occupied. By 10 you could barely walk around. We had enough by 11 and left. I scored some 32-20 and some 38-40 ammo and a knife. Was tempted by an older 49 but it had some rust issues and the seller was not budging off $700.

When we left the line was just as long as it was 2hrs earlier. Pretty crazy times.

Were most people doing serious business?

I'm surprised that Massachusetts even has gun shows. It's a good thing to know there are still some gun enthusiasts and owners in the state where the first shots of freedom rang out.

Lots of buyers.People were spending, and on guns,not just accessories.Vendors were smiling.

Massachusetts is usually disregarded as a gun enthusiast state mainly because of it's draconian gun rules and regulations in place and pending,along with it being a "liberal/progressive" state.

However,there are plenty of good gun owners here as well, and many gun clubs and ranges.

Because of the huge liberal population in the Chities,mainly Bosstown, us country folk get outvoted on most everything. Doesn't make it right..just makes us conservatives a minority.

Only 2 hours at a gun show?
Hardly seems worth the effort.

We got in "early" and had a chance to go over the tables with minimal crowding,so we were pretty much done in 2hrs..and by then you could not get near a table. We then hit a few gun shops in the area as they are not busy on a gun show day. Win-win situation..
