I have a cool wife. The gun market over there seemed a little slow. There was some good deals, but like any other show you have to look dig them out. I was only on the floor for about 5 hours. Ammo and reloading supplies seemed reasonable.
I saw some of the big guys selling 1000 rounds of 9mm reloads for like $155. I did not pay attention to modern guns or did not go to the SAR building.

I had no problem finding enough guns to spend all my money. I will be going next year for sure. I have a suggestion for anybody who sets up at the show. They should contact the promoter and have them print out flyers to all the table holders explaining CA C&R out of state purchase laws. The easier they make it us to buy guns over there the better the show will be.
I ran into a lot of CA buyers there. I am sure a large percentage of C&R guns are going back to CA.

During WWII when the Germans occupied France one of the cities that the laid claim to was Bayonne, mainly for the MAB factory.
