in Kenner.

Is this a good show? Should I expect to be amongst the craziest gun toting bastards around?

Never been to that show, but most gun shows these days are disappointments in my experience. I was once a show junkie but the crowds and overpriced junk have kept me away for a few years now.

Hope you find some deals.

Don't forget your bullet proof vest.

Weagle99 is right.

Have no idea what Hogdaddy is talking about. It's not like it's the Wild West at a gunshow.

The Internet has pretty much ruined gunshows, they used to be good places to attend, but now it's much easier just going online.

Most gun shows are full of useless junk such as dull knife like objects, blowguns, dream catchers and zippo knockoffs.

If you like beef jerky, dream catchers and Taurus products, you'll love the Kenner gun show

Cracker has never found a deal at a gun show.

Yeah, I go to the show here in Jackson from time to time. It's full of crap that you don't really want. Lots of over-priced long guns, some new hand guns and a lot of stuff that collectors are trying to make money off of. And crowds of people standing in the way. All for $7 admission. Much easier to buy online or at a retailer.

Only deal I got from the Kenner gun show was about 20 years ago when a SKS went for $89 dollars. That Kenner for you Bra.

I went to the Kenner gun show about 6 months ago and there were so many sketchy looking people in the parking lot, I drove off and didn't go in.

Lots of good sites listed earlier. But I've purchased from Bud's for a gun I couldn't find locally and it was a smooth transaction. Even though some may disagree, I had no problems.
