Oregon Gun Show Alert

Post by jdad »

Marlinman93 and I will probably be the first two in the door Saturday morning. :D This has always been one of the better shows, in OR.

I'd love to attend :)

You guys are going to see some crazy prices on AR's, AK's, FAL's, etc. and all the ammo that they take.

From what I've seen thusfar though, leverguns, bolts and such seem unaffected by all of the panic. I guess when the evil rifles are completely sold out and only a few extremely high priced ones remain available, then people looking for "a gun" will turn to the rest...

Wish it were closer to the Rogue Valley! There's a show coming this next weekend at Klamath Falls -- also often a good show.

I've been watching a thread on the Beretta forum.

Gun shows all over the nation are reporting long lines.

Some of the most sought after ammo is sold out fast and some spending 3 to 4 k at a time just on ammo.

Often reported vendors sold out before the show is over and packing it in Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

A few reports of gouging, but it's about expected.

So crowded that if ya see something to buy better do it then, if ya can.

I sure wish there was a gun show around here close I could go to.
Money spent to make a long trip to a show is better spent ordering reloading supplies online.

We all are living history in more than one way. And more to come I suspect.

I was at the show in Eugene,Or. last Sat. and at 9:00AM the line was 4 people wide and probably 2 blocks long! I got in quickly and after perusing the first hall for maybe 1/2 hour, I looked outside, and the line was still a block long! The place was packed all morning, and still coming in when we left about noon. I just don't get all this craziness, but I sure hope it keeps up, as it helps our monthly club shows a lot!

I'm planning on it. I was also at the Eugene show lasy saturday. I've never seen anything like it. THE busiest show I've ever been to.

Ain't that the truth! A gun show should be a "gun" show and not a flea market.
