I went to the Ft. Worth gun show. Got there about 45 min after it opened, closest parking about a half mile away. Got to the door and there were about 100 people waiting to get in. Shoulder to shoulder inside, could barely move. It took a long time to get a seller's attention because of so many people with questions etc. I only bought an ammo can, a holster and a spare mag for my new Bersa. TOO crowded! They did have every gun under the sun, and I think every Manufacturer was represented.

I bought two new handguns the day before at my local shop and I paid less than they cost at the gun show. I really think the cheapest way for us to buy guns is local, even though here in TAXES, we have the ridiculous 8 plus % sales tax. If I buy a $ 500. gun online, they charge me $20 to ship it, and the local FFL guy charges $20 to process it. That's $540. If I buy a 500 gun locally, I pay $41.25 in taxes for a total of $541.25 and iI get the gun now instead of waiting for it to be shipped.
