I didn't start going to gun shows until about a year ago when I moved from CA to NM. I went with the expectation that I'd find a few things at good prices, but it seemed that everything at the show was at full retail or higher. I commented to my brother-in-law that gun shows must just be for people whose Internet is broken.
I can only imagine how the prices have climbed in the past month. The shows happen just about monthly here, but I don't think I'll even bother going to any of them until things cool back down.
