area-nashville Lebanon gun show tomorrow

RK shows back in Lebanon tomorrow & Sun. Anyone going? Guess I'll give it a look, just for the heck of it.

Attended the Lebanon RK show today.......was a really good show (nothing like the old Lebanon shows). Excellent crowd but not over-crowded.  Was really nice to see lots of the opposite sex of all ages as well as a great number of younger folks.  Definitely not your typical old geezer (like me) show!  Plus many new vendors.

Excellent inventory of firearms with fairly reasonable prices considering the current environment.  Plenty of ammo available at twice last year”s price, but still less than CTD.

A nice enjoyable 4 hours.

Dang. Thought about going today before work but it's about 1.5 hours roundtrip and wasn't sure if it would be worth it.

Glad to hear it. They have been lackluster, to put it mildly, in the past.

Show is better than the old shows years ago, which were useless as tits on a boat hog.

Much better mix of the sexes & ages. Still have some of the usual non-gun junk.

Some place to go when you've got nothing better to do.

Just a side note, FWIW,  RK Shows do not have anything scheduled for the 'boro the rest of the year, just Lebanon in this area.

[Grunt67]

FWIW, RK Shows will be back in Lebanon this Sat/Sun Nov. 7 & 8.

Nov.7, is my birthday, so, if anyone wants to meet me at the gun show & buy me a gun, I'll go along with it. Just saying.............LOL

[Wdodd]

Will be interesting to see what, if any, changes might be apparent at the “post-election” show.

 Very true. Won't take long to find out.

Don't know if I will make it Saturday but will try to go Sunday if I don't.

LOL, well, that's a start.

Went to the show for a while, this am. Huge crowd, lots of gun buyers,  large crowds waiting to make a purchase. Prices seemed to be their already high self. Left with my small amount of money in my pocket.

Will edit to add this. One dealer had a lot of military ammo, armor piercing rounds for 5.56, 9mm, 30 cal, M16 parts, etc. Can't recall ever seeing that before.

Yes, think he was a new dealer .... have never seen him before at any of the Lebanon/Murfreesboro/MidTn shows.  He and his wife were so busy, I did not get a chance to speak with them.  Great selection!,

I'm planning on going to the show this weekend. From what it looks like, it's usually a pretty good show!

It's probably best if I plead the 5th here, right?

Sad ain't it. What's sad is some poor slob will buy that expensive crap.
