it was my first time to go to this and i had a great time. i ended up following a friend of mine who was with his dad and other brother, and i took my son (9yrs old). my buddy got a new in box savage 243, his brother got an AR-15 for the yotes, their dad got a nice 1911......me nothing not enough $$ for what i wanted. my son had a blast and was overwhelemed by the amount of guns in the building. he had a blast, saying "look at this one....look at that one....what is that one....i want that one"....lol. i told him how to haggle a bit and he did all the talking and got $5 off a knife, so he was pumped...lol
