Wanenmacher gun show April 1-2

I missed the last couple of them, but I hear they have been smaller. Not sure if that is part in due to the covid bullhocky or the loss of Mr. Wanemacher or just the new political atmosphere.

Never been to a gun show, I'm definitely going.

You will likely park way out, take advantage of it and just pay attention to all of the license plates on your walk in - pretty crazy.

And check out the parking lot deals.

All of the above, plus rising costs of tables and now admission.

I will be there, however I will likely be unable to buy much. Just got a 5 digit tax bill….
I loathe the IRS.

Dang, I thought we got hit hard. At least our robbery loss to the IRS is only four digits, high four digits, but at least it ain't five. That said I won't be going, I don't want to look at stuff I can't buy. FJB

A buddy and I each got a table. We'll each take a few long guns, handguns, knives and accessories. The best part about getting a table is Friday. More guns are bought and sold on Friday than the actual days of the show.

Maybe this year there won't be any accidental discharges.

Been looking forward to it and will be there. Will be wearing lightweight shoes.

If the vendors start packing up early on Sunday like the last two I will never go on a Sunday again, may just avoid the show all together. I pay for 2 days and want to see it “all” until it’s TIME to pack up… The leaving early crap is BS

We are claiming zero deductions and still got hit hard. Unfortunately, all the old deductions that we used to be able to use have been eliminated over that past several years. (Mileage being a BIG one)
The other issue is, even though we both claimed zero, our amount of federal taxes taken out was ~10% for me and 2% for my wife. I am not sure how they do the calculations? We learned a valuable lesson, run the tax calculator math and make sure the employers are taking out enough. (A big portion of my income 50% came in the late 3rd and early 4th quarter. At that point we did not realize the tax implication of that much income in that short of a period of time)
The good news is we are debt free thanks to that 3rd and 4th quarter income and have (had) a fully funded 3 months of expenses saved. We will be fine but it still hurts!

You know you can have your employer deduct any amount of taxes you choose. You could also set up quarterly tax estimates based on your income that quarter.

Prices were crazy last Nov. It was the first time in over 10 years I left emptyhanded from there.

I'll be there in Nov again though.
