I don't remember the last time I've been to one and don't know what to expect as this is in Robertsdale, AL near Gulf Shores / Orange Beach/ Foley AL etc.

A friend went yesterday and said they great deals on Ammo and had a good amount of bad arse AR style riffles.

Question: will I be able to get a great deal on handguns? I know what they cost online vs MSRP. What are some tips on haggling over price? If I can't get a deal that is very close to what I would online then I won't buy. Plan to take my phone in with me and have saved several sites that have the handgun I want in stock and at great prices. Will use that as a gauge on the deals.

Suggestions ? TIA

I've been to a few gun shows in the past year or so and only found 2-3 items that were cheaper than academy. The rest was sky high.

But it is fun to roam around.

Unless your looking for beef jerky, dream catchers, or paintings you won't find a damn thing worth a frick.

You will see trashy mental patient looking freaks that do not need to own guns walking around with assault weapons. I like guns but not gun shows. The couple I've been to were eye opening.

Damn... not a lot of faith being provided for the gun show. My friend who went yesterday said it was pretty good and had a good selection. Will let y'all know that I made it out alive! LOL!

What was it exactly that your eyes opened to? People that you don't find aesthetically pleasing have the same rights as you?

Don't forget to hang the Dream Catcher on your rearview mirror.

It's what uneducated people call modern sporting rifles.

My eyes were opened to the fact that if all the people are are this well armed then I have some catching up to do. I apologize for using the term assault weapons as well. With all the assault life stickers and t shirts being sold I assumed it was only right. I meant no offense to anyone who likes Dreamcatchers or throwing stars as well.

I'll probably hit up the one in Lafayette next weekend, if only for shits and giggles.

Sometimes you'll be the squirrel that finds the nut, most of the time it's just a way to kill a Saturday or Sunday.

Things were way better back in the early 90s.
