Very good "first day" crowd. Lotsa local people, varied vendors. Got to meet and have a nice little chat with DoubleJ.
No real "bargains" that I saw on ammo - but at least there was quite a bit there to be had. Another show typical of recent times with $400 SKSs, $700 AKs and $1,200 (++) ARs.
One former student came by after buying a new S&W M&P Compact 9 for around $490 - considerably less than I paid for one back in November. Then a few minutes later, another student from about 2 years ago came by, the proud owner of a new LCP - for which he had paid $429 + tax !!!

Yep, the statistics show that the highest number of NDs at shows IS with vendors' guns. With all due respect, until some folks have actually done something similar to walking in the shoes of the gun show sponsors, paying the insurance premiums and dealing with opening the doors to both vendors and the general public, they may never "get it".

Re: Gun show returns to Denton Feb. 21/22
Just back from setting up there. Looks like maybe 2 of the big gun dealers present. Our table on the right, one isle in from from edge. About 1/3 of the way back, right next to the "Femine Protection" lady. 
For those coming from the south (Exit 465B), if going very fast on exit ramp/access road, it's easy to go past that entrance to parking lot. Semi-Decent "Gun Show" banners low on building. And yep, 30.06 sign was laying by front door but not put up yet.

Gun show returns to Denton Feb. 21/22
A couple of members called and e-mailed to give heads-up on what is, to me anyway, pretty short notice of local promotor getting gun show going in Denton again.
IIRC, it's been at least two years since they had 'em at the (now demolished) old K-Mart building. Even then, when we were renting a table there, they were trying to move the show to an old Home Depot building. Looks like they may have got 'er dun. http://www.classicshows.com/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
