My son and I have supported gun shows for a long time, rarely missing any until the last year or so. I've even bought a 9mm from you at a Frederick show.
The fact is attendance at gun shows is way down....just look at the need for this thread and any threads from recent shows.
It's wonderful that the man that runs the shows funnels a lot of money toward the cause, but that fact alone is not going to bring more people in the door.
If you want to get attendance numbers back up....you need to be encouraging dealers to actually offer deals.......
Its not even offering deals, its not asking for ridiculous prices. And befor Mopar chimes in about his shotgun find, many people are not looking for flips. We are looking for AR parts, ammo, accessories,guns,etc for personal use.
The ONLY vendor that ever has reasonable prices is Lou.
I wonder if Frank has raised the prices $25 on the vendors. Instead of just raising prices on attendees he needs to communicate the same to venders.
I am NOT discounting what Frank does and I think it is great that he donates to the cause and puts in his efforts. Business is business though. Charity does not drive business to your doors. There is a fundamental flaw in the business model and he needs to tackle it in this changing oppressive environment.
