I went this last Fri. AFAIC it was a total blow. Even the number of black gun guys was poor. Number of dealers of anything worth even looking at was pushing zero. At 1PM when I left you cudda driven a car thru the place easy - well, except for the stupid table layout which obviously was done to make it look like there was more than was there and totally unfriendly to the visitor.
Prolly my last trip to Reno for that crap. Fortunately there is nothing anymore at gun shows that I need and so seldom anything I can even use that missing them will impose no hardship of any kind on me. I bought two old catalogs and looked at a 45-70 that my brother has spoken about but sells for way less on-line.
I saw you, Pete. You were busy trying to scam someone so I didn't want to interrupt. Hope you sold enough to cover the trip. Looked nothing but bleak to me.
