Being "Mark" for the last 6 months allowed to me save up enough money to rent commercial space and get my FFL...no joke.

Hmmm...

BTW for everyone's info. Jim is a local as well. He lives in Snohomish county and I actually know exactly who he is!

He also has a half-box of .38-55 cartridges, a Western-style gun belt he hasn't been able to wear since 1978, a used cleaning kit, and a nickel-plated Iver Johnson Premier revolver in .32 S&W.


Definitely have seen this guy. Very obscure reloading dies for 150% of what they sell for on eBay...

.....and then there is the field guide of patrons that attend gun shows, I will have to condense that one, it could be endless. A thru Z, .....there is 2 sides to this story. To be continued, being Sunday night after the Wac show I'm overwhelmed with examples, I need a nap

In the lexicon of gun show types, do we include the people that bitch in online forums about the one super specialized thing they were looking for and didn't find?

Most gun owner wannabes are like women - gonna bitch about everything, and complain about everything - unless they think they ass raped a vendor on a deal.

In which case, they gonna brag about it for the rest of their natural lives to anyone within listening range.

With photos of the trophy, and a longer story than anyone has time for.

Item in question is usually something like - a shell holder. A few cards of primers. A partial box of weird ammo. An old Mauser sling for their AR. A rusty wall hanger.

Here are a couple more:

Bernie: a middle aged man grossly overweight, he sells surplus rifles for prices normally seen on new custom bolt guns, he stacks them like cord wood on the table, and shows up three hours late

Jeff: Jeff has a huge collection of guns, but he rarely sells any, prefers to trade. He has his wife Bonnie help man the table, she wears a low cut shirt to show off the 38DDs that Jeff bought for her. The boobs are the only thing that gets interest at their booth.

Ed: Ed gets a table at every show, has a real nice display of guns for sale, but hasn't sold a gun since 1982
