There is no question the quality of the shows is off, but I can see why a lot of dealers wouldn't be interested in dragging every hand gun they have to the shows until there are more HQL's in the market or until the HQL goes down to defeat in the courts. I already spent my wad on firearms for a little while, but I still stopped by Saturday afternoon. $8 bucks for the show of which $2 goes to the dealer/litigation fund. Wound up picking up a new range bag, 200 rounds of ammo, and a few other odds and ends, and renewed my NRA membership at $10 off the regular membership. So I didn't make a big purchase, but I still saved far more than the $6 bucks it cost to attend and supported the 2A community. I saw Lou45 and Mopar92 and they seemed reasonably busy so I didn't even get to say hello. Others seemed reasonably busy selling LG's as well. No matter what any of the aficionados say the shows still serve a purpose.
