Gun Shows - good, bad, tips?

There’s a gun show tomorrow in Thibodaux and I’m thinking of heading over for it. I’ve never been to a gun show. What’s good and bad? Is it worth purchasing firearms there? Any tips?

99% of new guns are going to be MSRP or higher.
You will find the deals in used guns that are gona be banged up and scratched.
Gun Shows are good for people that have a budget and don't know exactly what they want or for those that find guns cool and seeing a whole bunch to pick up and look up in 1 area.
Can also do some trading if you bring a stick with you.

Go for the experience, not to buy a gun.

I only go to gun shows now to check out newly released guns and decide if I want to order it online for much cheaper later. What’s odd is the last 3 I’ve been to I haven’t seen a single gen 6 Glock, only the V series. Last gun snow was flooded with Winchester rangers. Only deals you might find is someone walking around wanting to sell privately.

They used to be great back in the old Russian surplus days.
I bought a 140$ AK.
SKS were dirt cheap and so was the ammo
You can buy cheaper at Academy now than a gun show.

I have been to probably 7-10 shows since 2015 not a fan at all.
It is very good to browse and see what’s new and what is out there tend to be some cool booths and products out there but I’d def not buy anything it’s over priced.

they suck. at least where i'm at. mostly fudds selling their fudd guns from the '60s where they're asking double-triple what they paid for them.
then, it's the local dealers that bring in part of their stock to the show for no better deal than what you can get in their store.
then theirs those that came to sell their trinkets that have no value at all.
