O K I gotta Ask????

[Hondo]

I go to my share of guns shows and am trying to understand why so many guys where camo to indoor gun shows.....

Are they trying to hide from someone?

Do they realize that Realtree and Mossy Oak don't work to good inside?

Are they trying to blend in with the other camo wearers?

Are their wardrobes that limited?

I just want to make sure I am not miising something....or didn't know about the gun show dress code....any insight would be helpful

i think thats just their normal daily wear... i wear camo outside hunting, and i have worn it to a gun show as well.... i like the large pockets, and the comfort.

It fools the vendors. Shoppers remain hidden from view and it makes the vendors lower their prices. It's worked for decades.

I'm sure for some it's the mall-ninja effect. For me it's because my wardrobe really is that limited. I usually have maybe 1-2 pair of jeans and a half dozen BDU pants at any one time. 2/3s of my cold weather gear is camo. Not because I seriously need camo, but because the decent performance gear that is durable out in the briars and doesn't weigh a ton like carharts is easier to find in camo and I refuse to buy a $300 goretex jacket from REI that I am going to shred in a couple of outings. I just check, I have about a dozen different type of head coverings excluding ballcaps, and all but one are either hunter's orange or camo.

If I wanted to be camo at a gun show I'd have a print of a rack of uppers or some handguns printed...

I guess I don't understand the question... you mean there are other clothes that are NOT camo... huh... who wold have thought of that...

Great Post...LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love BDU's for utility. I'm not the type who dresses full camo, unless I'm hunting or playing paintball. I must say, I have a few pairs of camo shorts from the discount rack at Kohls....they go with everything.

maybe I need to have a gilly suit made out of that reflective stuff that was on the hunting section last week so I could just blend into the tables of guns...

Are you new to Indiana? I'll bet some of those guys wore camo to their weddings.

I have a wife that makes sure I dont look like the bubba that I am in public. A camo hat is the only acceptable daily wear camo unless im hunting. I like to see the guys wearing Black BDU's and some random firearm t-shirts. The mall ninja look is high fashion at the gun show!

 

[JohnP82]

I agree with some of the previous posts. I often wear my black BDU pants around. They are very comfortable and I love all the pockets!

Life long resident and avid hunter....I don't wear a suit in a tree stand...

They dress for the occasion. No suits and ties allowed!

My wife selected our wedding colors to be Mossy Oak and Teal.

Armory's are where the shows usually are, so some guys are just wearing OLD SCHOOL camo.
Then there are some who wear camo to hide their panty lines.

 

[Farmritch]

I wear Bib overalls makes me look even more uneducated .....
and it works.
You'd be surprised how many refrain from usung large words around me, even speaking a little slower and louder

 

[theweakerbrother]

I thought 5.11 gear was the new camo!? Am I just ahead of the curve!?

 

[Scarecrow]

Everyone wear's camo at my work too...weird.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Well, I guess previous posters have about covered it. I guess there are the Mall Ninjas who feel tougher when they wear their camo to a gun show, but lots of other guys who just have a lot of camo, and some who've actually been hunting lately. The hiding from the vendors effect is real, too. Did you know I've NEVER recognized Printcraft at a gunshow?!? That guy is GOOD!!
