SAR Show 12/4 Thru 12/6

[Suck My Glock]

I'm only going because there's someone there I need to meet. I'll shop maybe for the few things not currently threatened.

I'll skip this year too! Thanks for the info.

I also thank everyone for the show reports. Unlike Mr_Maim I have only gone to every SAR Show for 19 years. I'll be in the garage working on my time machine.

Looks like I'll pass on this one too. Too bad, but I'm only at around 15 years straight.

If you need any more reason to not go, here's a sign posted this morning:

Nice.

Do you know Mitch? I'm sure he posted that as a joke.

No, I didn’t go to the show, this was posted on AZ hometown @ ARFCOM.

I was there today at the AZCDL Booth. We signed up about 6 people while I was there. I will never understand why gun owners talk pro 2a but won't put money where thei mouth is. Only $20 when you join at a gun show.
Line for MiWall took about an hour. The reloading side wait was about 15 minutes at 2 pm. Some powders were out. Pistol primers were almost $10 for 100. Only 100 allowed at one sale. But if you went different times during the day I am sure you could have gotten more.

I was there to meet somebody, not shop. But,...since as long as I was there,...I decided to look for "the lesser things" that normally aren't the main focus of my visits or the current buying panic. Didn't bother looking for any ammo or primers or the typically desired guns. I tried to not notice any of that at all. Instead, I looked through all the bargain bins and parts sets, used optics, used belts and holsters, targets and target stands,...that sort of thing.

To my surprise, I actually found a desirable gun at a fair pre-panic price. A friend in Prescott who has decided late in life to become a hunter has asked me to help find an affordable deer rifle. I told him this was the worst time in years to try to find anything affordable, but promised I'd keep my eyes open. I saw soooo many plain hunting rifles at ridiculous prices, I almost stopped looking. And then there, on a table that said Private Sales, was nice condition Savage M110 in .243 with a scope for just $275. I went ahead and snatched it up. Called up my buddy in Prescott and informed him I acquired his rifle for him (under budget, no less) and that I'd come see him Wednesday to drop it off.

So it turned out better than I expected.

Was there VIP parking or valet?

No,...and there wasn't enough handicapped either. But the golf cart shuttle was a godsend.

I scored a couple of small items of need for decent prices, but gun prices was stupid high. I told one guy who was selling ammo that with his prices he should give you a free gun with every box of ammo sold. One dealer would not even let you handle a firearm until AFTER you completed a 4473. No buy no touch. WTF! Overall way too expensive for most items, but hey at least I got some fresh air and exercise.
