I may have to start going on a regular basis.

Yeah, I have been to a couple myself. Bought my first rifle, a Ruger M77MKII in .300 Win Mag and a Burris Signature 4-12x scope at the first one I went to 16 years ago when I was 22. About 8 years later, I went to another one and ran into the same vendor. Bought 3 guns off of him that day. A Ruger M77MKIITGT in .220 Swift, a Ruger Mini 30, and a Ruger 10/22.

I love gun shows. Problem is, I end up spending way too much money at them just because I cannot resist. Same thing goes with hunting/fishing shows and computer shows. Thank God they don't have any bike shows that I am familiar with. I would be bankrupt. Bad enough going into a bike store.

Richmond is too close to know about a gun show. The ones I have gone to are usually Frederick, MD and Upper Marlboro, MD.
