    There will still be people at the auditorium front door demanding to zip tie everything you have on you. Have I ever seen anybody yelled at, pulled aside and told to zip tie their concealed carry piece that was printing, like I have seen at the Pensacola show and other big shows? Nope

    I’ve always interpreted “NO loaded firearms” signs at gun Shows like I interpret them for gun Stores: applies only to guns that will be handled. (Does not apply to lawful concealed carry that shouldn’t be handled in peaceful circumstances.)

    I’ve never ziptied my carry piece in public.

    And I won’t. If it’s that kind of place, it isn’t for me.

    I guess I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and show up. Hopefully it doesn’t have idiot “door guards”.

    Any cool scores??
    I even traded a Swedish K31 for a Spanish FR8 Mauser there once. Only one of the best Mausers ever made! A different time there I sold a guy a M91/30... and he got all super excited and completely lost his poker face. I asked what gives?! He said look at the date on the receiver ring... and it was a bonafide M91/30 with a 1929 date. Another time there I traded a M91/30 sniper for half this guys table... just so I could get his WW1 Mauser, chambered in 12 gauge

    When is the Milton Gun Show????? Nobody posted dates, times, info or am I asleep!?
    This time around this thread is probably all you'll see... until people start bragging about the deals they got during and afterwards! It's always been a good show for me

    I always seem to miss this show. Won't bother going to the one at P'cola fairgrounds but wanted to check this one out. I'll miss it again since I'm leaving in the morning, will be racing at Sebring this weekend!

    The pensacola fair ground gun shows are always a waste of the entry fee and time (all scalpers and above msrp gun/ammo prices), is the MIlton gun show historically better in terms of deals?

    It really all depends on what you are looking for and who may have it. From my going to this show over the past several years, I have picked up a couple good deals. Again, it really depends on your interests how much a private seller is willing to take for what they have. Dealer prices are pretty much on par with most other shows.

    There's a show in Panama City this weekend too. I've already heard from one of the Pensacola show regular vendors that they will set up in Panama City, not Milton. So I bet most, if not all, of the Pensacola show regular vendors will be in Panama City. Which is fine by me

    Which might be one reason why the Milton show couldn't buy advertising... it was competing against a bigger show already advertising with the same people
