I hear ya. My days of gun buying, ANY gun buying, are over for quite a little while, I would guess. As far as the looking at things, I do enjoy gun shows. Lots of stuff, decent enough way to spend a couple hours of leisure time & cheaper than a movie. Out where I live now, the shows are fewer and more of a drive. Ft. Worth charges for parking now, too.
I do enjoy the gun library when I am at Cabela's.
