Sweet! Not likely to make it, gotta take the young fella to a concert at the mall. Thanks for the recon though, maybe I'll get there in the afternoon.

WOW!!! this was the smallest show I have ever seen. I have only been going to them for 5 years, but this one was kind of bad IMO. There were some deals there, but the tables were thin. The back saturday only section was almost non existent. And there were a number of empty tables in the main floor. Maybe this is due in part to the 2 show limit for non-business people, maybe its partly due to the backlash from the recent rule changes.....I dont know, but it wasnt good. There was a table with a guy selling exhaust headers for fucks sake......

I would have said hi to urbanminer, but I dont know who he is

I was amazed at how many tables were marked as Open, and How few tables actually were filling up last night. One guy had a TAPCO'd Para SKS Marked for over $700...wish I could go back today and show Him the Romanian SKS I Picked up for $360...or the Paratrooper SKS That Urbanminer picked up This morning for a decent price...Seems some folks are running scared with their prices...too soon for that crap...gives everyone with reasonable prices a chance to make money


Seems part of the problem may be that Portland is having a HUGE Gunshow this weekend, along with one in Richland, WA...I know some of the guys would rather do Portland that Puyallup...

I'm in portland now, i should look up this show, could maybe find some good deals on non firearm items....

Agreed. I arrived about 4pm last night, I was amazed how vacant the parking area was outside the north side of the building was. This morning wasn't as busy as usual either.

The area I usually park my trailer was completely empty last night, and there's only a few trailers in there today.

Gun Show excitement today ....

A "Life Member" opened his briefcase across the aisle from the Open Carry group and unloaded his pistol (.380) while pointing it directly at us. he was turned into security. When questioned by the head of security he lied. When they inspected the brief case there was his untied pistol and loaded mag with the loose round. He was told to pack up and leave.

WOW! Was he a table holder?

I thought it was a pretty good show compared to the first show after the 2 show or collect tax news. Not as good as October but good as I got two great deals. Bought a 1908 Colt Pocket .25 and a "Lemon Sqeezer" S&W in .32 S&W.

Considering the small selection of stuff I sell, I actually did pretty darn good.... best show yet in fact. Stay tuned for another Condor Group Buy!! (I need to re-order to replenish my stock too)

I went to the show and picked a few items up. The October show had a lot more tables. I thought the fellow selling the headers was way out of place. I was thinking to myselft WTF is he doing here. The funniest thing I saw at the show was a guy selling a 'tactical' bottle opener that attaches to a 1913 Picatinny rail. His sales pitch to me was you gotta have something to quench your thirst when you go shooting.

I forgot about the tactical bottle opener.....I got a laugh out of that too.
