| - First off, if anyone reading this gets offended, please be aware that as an American, I do in fact have the right to an opinion. I don't want to get shot!
I support the Democratic party, but since my red state dad was in town, i thought it might be interesting to take him to the gun show. i am a gun owner but the thought of being around several thousand other gun owners made me a bit nervous.
it's kind of a rip-off. 7 bucks to park, 16 bucks to get in the place. and then everything in there is mostly over priced. it is kind of a nightmare for a liberal like me....the things overheard should make the owners of those comments ashamed of themselves. race, religion, sex...i overhead every kind of hateful thing said about every other race, religion, sex, etc. and to top it off, even my father...a gun-totin, conservative republican said to me as we were leaving "Well, i can see why most people shouldn't own guns". one of the scariest things i overheard from a vendor was this: a young man walks up to one of the sellers of guns. the young man says "So what's your background and paperwork requirements?". the gun seller says "how about cash?" and that was it. a semi-automatic AR-15 was sold.
there was a line for ammunition about 3 hours long. people seem to be really scared about their guns and ammo getting taken away. this happens every 5 years or so.
in any case, an excellent place for mullet spotting, but i wouldn't go back and would advise anyone with any sense to avoid it as well.
