Tulsa gun show worth going?

[Honey Badger]

Probably pick up a gun cheaper than a box of ammo.
…ammo prices always seem to get stupid at these shows!

Brother you are NOT kidding. I’m always shocked at ammo prices at any gun show.

I picked a box of 18 Federal premium .375 H&H for $15 at the last show there, didn't think that was bad at all.

I haven't been to the Tulsa show in 4 or 5 years but just like gun prices, ammo prices were all over the place.
Some pretty good and some outrageous.
Several years ago I found some surplus ammo cheap enough that I stepped back down the aisle where I had seen backpacks for sale and bought one to haul the ammo in.
My eyes were too big for my back though, a buddy I went with knew a dealer with a couple of tables and he let me stash that backpack until we were ready to leave. I felt like a pack mule just carrying it out to the parking lot. It's kind of funny...now!

Speaking of backpacks, I learned to bring some bottles of water and snacks with me to the big show. Seemed like my joints were in better shape if I stayed hydrated with all the walking.

I've bought quite a bit of reloading supplies at Wanenmacher's,and I learned early on, don't buy bullets until right before you leave.

Is there a floor plan available? Looked on their website and did not see one.

They advertise prominently that no loaded firearms (open OR concealed) are allowed. According to their signs, "... a gun show is no place for a loaded gun" - which makes little sense to me, especially when concealed licensees are included in the prohibition.

I used to have a PDF of the floor plan, but I think it’s outdated now. There aren’t as many tables as there were in the PDF some ten years ago.

Ha! Or any lead shot I guess.
