Things change. Ten or fifteen years ago, in order buy, sell, trade, or just mingle with some other like minded people, it was necessary to travel and go to shows. Today (three or four times a day) we just turn on our computer and see as many nice guns as we would see in years of going to shows.
It not only allows us to buy and sell, but participate in, or eves drop on a constant conversation about guns and all related. I do miss the shows but wouldn't want to give up the access we have hear either.
There are still some good shows out there. If we can we should do our best to support them. Though technically not a gun show I have great time at the Vintagers every year. Everything a shotgun nut could ask for is there, including some very nice shirts, but participation still seems to be waning.
