$24,500.00 in vendor revenue and they need $9 from me?

This is just a general complaint. Goes for gun shows, auto and motorcycle flea markets, and any shows in general where vendors expect customers to come in and spend money. $9 I have to pay at the door is $9 less in a vendors pocket X however many buyers attend.

Greedy eff's. Burns me up. (and NO...I don't go to them anymore)

Sorry for the rant, just a convenient opportunity for me to vent.

Carry on.

In never looked at it that way Raineman, I attended at least 10 gun shows this year and realize the Hazmat charge for ordering powder and primers is cheap in comparison to the pot luck selections one will find. I did see a deal on a Keltec Sub2000 for $650.00 though

Ammo cans for $12 and $14 but $10 shipped online. The same used rifles and shotguns priced so high the tags have almost worn down to the point they look like the ancient sea scrolls. (and Yes...I still go to them).

Full Disclosure : this is not a rant, see you at the show! and I like Lee2's gun show announcements better, no offense.

Nice to get a listing of what MDS vendors will be there. Be nice if the far away ones pay a visit. Just ranting.....and oh yea.... I get a $1 discount!!

$2 of every entry goes to help fund 2A efforts in the state, through the local .orgs we all support.

In the interest of fairness you would need to find out how much the promoter pays to rent the location, the tables themselves, the chairs, the electricity and wifi (for vendors), the security company, the water bill, and how much the advertising on the radio costs. Not to mention in addition to the $2 per attendee donated to MSI for each attendee and they usually give a table to MSI.

Then find out how many attendees stroll through. The attendees are the profit generators for the business.

I was going to bitch about the $9 also, but now it sounds pretty cheap.

I was paying $5 in 1999. So if it's $7 now (taking out the $2 donation), I'd say the price has gone up by less than inflation. Parking is still free.

Also keep in mind that Silverado fought a huge lawsuit against gunshows in the state of MD back in the early 2000s and won. It cost a lot of money.

I didn't know this, and appreciate you filling in this bit. Will have to thank Frank K the next time that I see him. Salt of the earth guy, and like DaemonAssassin and rwbow1969, he offered to help me build my first AR a few years ago when he learned that I was a newer firearms owner who had beaten the FSA2013 lower receiver purchase deadline (and in all three cases, I never even mentioned I needed help - these folks generously and spontaenously offered).

If you are a MSI member then volunteer at the show for a few hours and you get in free. Its fun. Everyone wants to talk 2A at the shows and you help generate needed money for the cause.

Alphabrew · Jan 2, 2017

I'm going to the show Sunday AM, after some range time at The Machine Gun Nest which is right around the corner

crh · Jan 2, 2017

I'll probably come check this out.

Texas · Jan 2, 2017

I will be going, I can't pass up a gunshow.

tcolt45 · Jan 11, 2017

I will be there

mdlowrider · Jan 19, 2017

I'm going. This may be TMI, but it's going to give me great pleasure to be at a gun show the day after Trump is inaugurated, when all the gun control freaks are still in the DC area.

Schipperke · Jan 19, 2017

Any Mare's Legs there?

Frederick Gun Show

Haven't been to Frederick in a couple years-How is this show for Powders and Reloading supplies?

ToolAA · Jan 20, 2017

Last show it was decent but I went on Sunday. I'm heading there tomorrow around noon hopefully I'll be able to pick up a lot of supplies.
