Was visiting Corpus Christi last week. Saw an ad for a gun show, so my two buddies and I immediately decided to attend, primarily so we wouldn't have to go shopping with our wives. Show was held at the County Fairgrounds in a nice big building that was pretty well lit. I guessed 300 or so tables were present. Lots of guns, revolvers were more in evidence than I expected, and there were more older and used ones than new ones. Lots of semi's and rifles too, with good showing of knives and other shooting, hunting, and reloading stuff. Probably close to 25% of the tables contained stuff for the girls, but also some pretty good printed materials, and yeah, some stuff to eat. Guy had a 3-D printer set up on his table and was advertising what he could do. That's a first for me at a gun show.
Prices were much better at this show than any I've attended this year, and by that, I mean prices were generally lower. Many of them were on the high side of average, but not by much. I was pleasantly surprised. Took the three of us over 2 hours to walk through and look pretty closely at most tables. Lots of stuff walking around as well. Atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed by both vendors and attendees. All around, time was well spent. Not a bad way to spend 5 bucks for that much interesting time!
