Went to the show in Pasadena, TX this morning. I was selling my Glock 23. Anyways, 9mm, .40, .45ACP and 5.56 ammo were all selling at a dollar a round!!

They were also selling bricks of Federal Lightning 22lr for 70 a brick. Freaking nuts.

I was looking for a XDs for my conceal weapon. There were selling those for 700. I seriously laughed at two sellers and told them they were fricking nuts.

Went to a local gun shop and picked up my XDs for 550. This shite has got to stop with all the price gouging.

Yup, crazy. I went to the one here last weekend. Anything "assault" related is high as hell. Ammo High and 22s are very high. Pistols were normal gun show variety mix of prices, but not too bad. I did not see many hunting rifles, all on board with AR style it seemed.

Gun shows were always over-priced but now they've gone full retard.

If I go to another one anytime soon it will be to unload some mags on panic buyers.

Now you know where alot of the online ammo deals end up. People, pawn shops, and some lgs monitor them all day buy all they can and then try to get us to buy it at 100-150% markups.

Good time to take up bow hunting, you can even reuse those.

The gun shows here in Wyoming were the primary reason people can only buy 2 boxes in stores. People would go to Walmart and buy everything they had in stock only to sell for 2-4 times the price.

As they should be. We're talking non-essential, recreational items here, for the most part.
