    It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a gun show. Are most places accepting cards or is everything pretty much cash

    It depends, private collections are basically exclusively cash. Depending on what "items" you are buying, cash is a superior option. Most FFL's take cards, but often charge 3% for it, or will give a discount for cash. Still can't beat holding out a wad of cash to close a deal.

    Ugh.....came home with two Colt's. My buddy bought a police trade in Tactical Carbine and I ended up with a pre-ban Sporter HBAR. He said, "I might as well buy this cause you're gonna' end up with it anyways." He enables me.

    Good show. As usual Brian had some nice stuff. Picked up a Browning shoty for a nice price. Vendor took a check.

    There was a leather guy in the usual place - back left when you walk in. Not.sure whether he had leashes

    Thanks, that may be him. He was along the back wall last time I saw him. He had belts, leashes, dog collars, etc. My rescues must hate collars, we have gone through so many, I have lost count! The stuff I bought from him is still going strong though!

    My girlfriend and I went today, her first gun show and my first at Gettysburg. I picked up some reloading supplies and .38 special cases for $.02 a piece. I thought it would be a good first show for her and I was right, there wasn't the constant buzz of stun guns going off like Chantilly or as crowded.

    The leash guy was there. I picked up 2 new collars and he threw in a really nice leash for free!
    Bought some M852 match ammo for a good price. Had to really fight the urge to buy a rifle I saw there. Probably would have bought it if it were not for the recent unexpected vet bill and house repairs.
