Calgary Gun Show

Who is going to the gun show this weekend?

I will be driving down for the day, Friday.

Anyone else going.

If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."

Should be good but it seems like every year things keep getting more and more overpriced

Friday morning for me. Overpriced yes. But still fun. I just ordered a new biathlon rifle so I won't be spending any cash (likely), but it's always good just to take a look around for a few hours.

I'll be going too. Unfortunately everyone that I was going with cancelled (gopher shooting) Last two years I went with a pocketfull of cash and came home emptyhanded, don't know what this year will bring.

Hopefully I'll see that girl in the tight jeans again this year.....A vision that's permanently burned into my mind. Mmmmmmmmm pretty girls and guns.

have fun all

Unfortunately (or not) I will be at my place in north Idaho for spring break. It is a pretty darn good show though, the best I have seen in Alberta. I see there is one in Spokane this weekend too, so I may give it a go with the boys.

I just got back from the show. It is a great show as usual! Prices are all over the place, but what do you exepct - a gunshow is an example of the marketplace at its finest!

I snaffled up a Bernadelli Roma 4E in 20 ga. I am a happy camper!

I was at the show on Friday. It seemed bigger than in the past. Struck out on guns, scored with swords. It strikes me that sword dealers, as a group, are more likely to be unknowledgable or just plain dishonest, than gun dealers. One sword dealer in particular still annoys me. I don't know if he is a combination of wishful thinking meeting ignorance or a fraud artist.

Maki I noticed that about the sword dudes too. I know nothing about them, but I'd love a couple to put on the wall. Seems the one guy had some that look a lot like the chinese imports you see on e-bay, I'm sure he's making an honest mistake and not trying to rip anyone off

I had a nice time, met about a dozen peope I know and even some AR dudes!!
