Are Gun Shows Cheaper?

Are Gun Shows worth it?

Are gun shows good deals?

The last couple of gun shows I attended were packed with people who were willing to pay asking price, so guess what....nobody would haggle. Prices were up some, from previous shows.

I bought hand loading components, at fair prices, but no real bargains. Mainly, a gun show is a good place to make comparisons. If you are going to buy a gun, do some research. Find what you are interested in, online, say at Bud's Gun Shop, and add about $50 for shipping and transfer fees, and that is probably a fairly decent price...or at least, not a terrible price.

That's what I'm thinking. Plus you get the honor of paying a cover charge if you do or do not by something. I think gun show are good if your local area doesn't have many gun shops or much of a selection.

I myself am going to attend one in march as I'm looking for a CA legal AR-15 (or the closets thing to it).
