It was elbow to elbow in there! THe show closed at 5 pm, but there was a line of 50+ people all day long as people kept coming to the show. Unfortunately, thanks to Obama, the prices on high cap magazines, ammo, and "assault rifles" have gone through the roof. An AR-15, which used to sell for $995 or so recently, was now around $1500 to over $3000 depending on options. Jeez. Should have bought when the 'tard took office because I knew this was coming. On the plus side, I've never seen so many people at shows actually BUYING rather than just shopping. Lots of older people, and so many women! (guys, be careful and considerate on that first date, they're most likely packing heat now) LOL
It was fun. Picked up a high intensity flashlight...Powertac E5, CREE LED tactical light and a shoulder holster with dual mag pouch for around the house (no home invasions here!) and two sets of carbon steel throwing knives (only $10 for a set of 3 with sheath!) The ammo was sooooo expensive. Last time I bought .223 it was just $189 for a whole case. Now it's around $999!!!!! Holy crap! Can't even search on google to see if that was a good price since google doesn't seem to be bringing up ANY ammo or firearms when you search for them in the "shopping" category. Hmmmm.....politically pressured filtering?
I saw a cool Ruger handgun ideal for concealed carry, the LC9-LW, which is a 7+1 9mm with built in laser sight under the barrel, and the whole thing is MAYBE 10% bigger than my KelTec P32! Just $399 (out of my budget right now, since the bike is in the shop :(   )
Oh well, Holiday weekend so there's one more day to enjoy! Have a good ride everyone!
