I'm not sure why I like this thread so much, but every contributor said something I could identify with my own feelings on gun shows. I have met the same people, refuse the beef jerky samples, and never could understand the Chinese tools at gun shows. I quess the thought that maybe there will be that gold nugget that each of us is searching for, maybe on the next table.
Hey, don't knock the Chinese tools! Fishing, I've lost more forceps than I care to mention; the gun shows keep me stocked up! And that magnified triple clip vise thingy is really pretty handy for a lot of stuff!
