Sounds like the time my grandpa sent me to the store for sailboat fuel. I was 9 years old and apparently getting on his nerves.
I am walking thru the parking lot, got a better spot than I thought, didn't seem as busy as the march show.

Seems about right. Walmarts $12 Fed525 went to $16 after the NRA's first Obama scare in '08, and it rolled up to $20 at Walmart after It started shipping again earlier this year. $20 Win at any gunshow would be a deal
You certainly sucked that up.
Eh, close enough.
I bought a set if ivory grips for an SAA Colt.
I did not notice the short gas block, I was too impressed by its condition, nice eye for detail there.
I saw that SKS too, it was a nice one.
I missed the Hungarian bayo.
Good show with not too large of a crowd.
Seen a Steyr C-40 for $730 at Rija's. I about laughed out loud when i seen the price. Can get em online for around $500. When I left at 10:15 it was starting to get crowded, especially on the upper lvl. Some good buys if you looked. I missed BANG's booth. But i bought a pmag from FBT. Unfortunately they didnt have any Steyr pistols to sell me.
I just left the show after escorting a tall, slender blonde around for a couple hours. It was her first gun show, and she found it quite interesting. We passed the BANG booth, but Patrick was busy with several customers so we didn't stop. My friend wanted to handle a number of subcompact pistols for eventual CC, and she liked the feel of the Ruger LC9 and the M&P 9 Shield. She'll pick up one of those two soon - I wonder if Patrick will have another sale on the raspberry LC9? 
I ended up swapping some M1A parts, and the M14 kit I was trying to sell is now all HRA, so I need to think on whether I want to sell it or make up an all-HRA M1A clone to go with the all-SA example I picked up this weekend. I did sell some small stuff - enough to feed my dogs for three months - and along with the calendar signed by four or five Tactical Girls, I had a pretty good show.

I saw the Tactical Girls booth... Couple of 'em were kinda cute, one was a frigging AMAZON. I mean she hadda be 7-feet tall, musta weighed more than me. Damn. I wasn't overly excited... glanced at the calendar, but for some reason, it just made me feel like a perv being in front of their booth. Weird, huh? I mean... to be hanging around a booth of women who are dressed so obviously "out there" just for the purpose of attracting attention... I dunno, made me uncomfortable. Saw a few more "dolled up" ladies at various booths, but wasn't too interested in whatever it was they were selling. Reminded me of when I went to the CES in Vegas and decided to stop in (with my fiancee) at the porn convention they have at the same time, just to see what it was like. Ran into some big pornstar... not Jenna Jameson, I don't think, but someone like that... and she was HUGE and hideously caked with makeup to cover up her obviously NOT-pretty-in-person looks. Scary.
I think I'm getting old.
.22 was still silly high. I saw Fed 550 boxes for $70, someone said they saw 'em for $80. Wow. Even a "special" bulk purchase of Armscor 5k .22 for only... $500.00.
Saw some WWB 100-rd bulk packs of 9mm FMJ at like $48. lol
Good selection of black rifle stuff, as mentioned FBT was the (drag)queen of the show for that, lowest prices I saw. They were even underselling JSE on their OWN uppers! lol Hung around the table like a dork for probably 2 hours. Saw Patrick and his wife from BANG and talked to him a good while, also mouthpiece was there with him. Good guy.
Seemed pretty crowded, and I'm not so comfortable in that kinda press of people. Wasn't really shoppin' to buy anything, so I didn't pay too much attention to alot.

I went back to the show today partly to kill time and partly to help my former FIL out with a gun purchase. I didn't plan on getting anything myself until I stopped by to talk with Jeff and Keelty at the FBT table. They had S&W Shields at a great price so we each walked out with one. Thanks, guys!
