So today, I decide to go the the 'gun show' at Live Oak. Ugh:
1. Lots of pseudo country art work. Native America, t-shirts with big Flags and Eagles.
2. Jerky!!
3. Coins
4. Bins of crappy parts and screws and bolts!
and
5. Incredibly over priced guns. At Saxet, you could get a decent and below gun store price on most standard new items.
Two examples - a SW 542 for $450 ish. A Taurus Beretta 92 clone for $700.
Good God! Just get in the car and go to Academy 10 minutes away. You don't find Glock 19s there for >$500.
I heard one parts vendor say this show sucks and he's not coming back.
So will Saxet make it? Why don't they use the Live Oak center?
Bah - have to go to Austin for that show from now on.
