Very large crowd today despite the good weather which usually keeps folks doing other things. Friday was reportedly very good, too. Vendors were pleased. The new section of the expo center was open for the first gun show so capacity increased by maybe 25%. Now there were two main doors for ticket sales and entry. Show organizers were very happy to accommodate many on the infamous wait list. Best of the 2015 shows I have seen there.

Sadly though one of the sellers of reloading equipment was told he couldn't sell powder. I heard two reasons.
1. the fire marshal wouldn't allow more than 300 lbs of powder in the building.
2. another reloading vendor complained that his prices were too low and unfair.

I won't forget the gouging that still goes on by re-selling Walmart ammo, or other nonsense by the vendors. Prices on everything ate terrible at the show even though the panic has been over. The vendors aren't our friends. I don't do business at the show either after they increased their prices to get in, $13 seriously? And all of the prices inside suck.

I had a great time at the show yesterday. Lots of people, I think the additional space is great, I wish the organizers would put all the ash and trash in that space or make it Pistols or Accessories, or the "Ammo and Reloading section" Its such a Kluster in there.
There was LOTs of reasonably priced ammo. AND the usual gouger POSs selling their overpriced 22lr ammo. There were some decent deals on items. AR parts and such were in good supply at reasonable prices...
I bought a 3 day ticket because I need to return on Sunday with a friend.

We could have a naming contest: the swamp, the non-ammo dump, siberia, ladies lounge (bullseye just appeared on my chest,) or put some carpet down and call it the gouger's experience?

Cool, I really like the AMMO Dump! Put all of the Ammo Guys in there. Let them price fight without having to send out runners..
