Went to National Gun Show (Chantilly, VA) this weekend and there were only 4-5 tables throughout that featured vintage shotguns, including Parker, Elsie, Lefever, Browning O/U and A5's. It's billed as the nationals largest regional gun show. Every table seemed filled with defensive type guns, hand guns of any/all make, AR rifles and .223 ammo. Show was crowded. Full of tatoo's, midriffs and Dailey Duke's. Not exactly a Parker crowd. Picked up some good deals on shotgun ammo.

You forgot to mention the amazing selection of body armor, MREs, designer purses, knives & tomahawks, martial arts geegaws (think throwing stars & nunchucks), and bra holsters for concealed carry. Also (almost forgot) the dangerous-looking middle Easterner selling the wonderful selection of fudge.

Don't forget the beef jerky and pickles.

You sure it was fudge... and not C4?

The promoters of that show have done an admirable job of flushing it down the toilet, as they have successfully done to their other venues.

But they are multimillionaires several times over. The fudge guy is a great feature, right up there with the jewelry girl.
