The Fort Wayne gun show has went downhill a little IMHO. It keeps getting smaller and smaller. Getting to be a little like a flea market too.

I agree. It used to be a good show, with lots of folks actually selling guns. It's now a shadow of its former self, and not worth the price of admission to me. The Glock armorer and Midwest Gun Exchange were big draws for me. I gave both business. I haven't bought a thing there since they pulled out.

I've been back a few times only to pay my parking, pay my admission, walk around, and leave empty-handed.

Yeah, I'm going in October! I went last 1500 show, too. I see some pessimistic folks in this thread! To me it's at least fun to walk around and look at guns and ammo and accessories. Plus, I always buy something. There's a part of me that thinks that if we don't go to the shows, they dwindle and it'd be a sad day if there were no shows AT ALL.

Anyone going to the little one in Lebanon this weekend?

Yep

I've been to the last four 1500 shows, it seemed to me at the last one there were quite a few more guns than before. The shows before did have a flea market flair to them. Got the little Walther in 22 cal for a good price to plink with. All in all ,like everyone else here it's a gun show and it's a good time!

I've been to the last three and was ready to write it off after the second time, but I went this past Aug anyway and noticed that they didn't have as much of the other crap that time. I actually bought a gun there too and got a good price, so I was happy.
