Default Tupelo gun show

On the spur of the moment went by this show today.Been several years since I visited.Saw a nice variety of collector guns including one Nice Parker 32 inch 2 frame V grade done as a trap gun with a lot of case remaining .Saw a number of other doubles from british high end to american utility guns.I visited some dealers I know.Glad to see them and they are ok.
I came home with some 16 gauge shells from a dealer in Amory Ms.Overall it was a nice show and a pleasant break.

Good to know there are still some decent gun shows for double gun lovers. I wish there were some here ‘bouts.

I’ve always wanted to go to Tupelo. An exotic place for a transplanted Mid-Westerner.

Tupelo had an Elvis event going on also this weekend . Also had the flea market on the Furniture Market grounds where the gun show was.Something for everyone. Wonder if Charlie made it?

We just rolled through there last week otw to Florida, spent the night there. Stopped by the Blue Canoe for dinner. Sort of an odd ball local place, but the food was good, and the beer was cold.

Cold beer makes most places even better. 🍺

Tupelo is not that far from us. Need to keep track of these gun shows. That Fox could have been intriguing...
