Went to the NW Montana Arms Collector Assn (NWMACA) gun show with Dad today. It was actually CROWDED and they had GUNS for sale. But the room was big and full. I'd say about half masked, and I wouldn't say "social distancing" was complied with too much. A bit more "after you" than in times past. They were wrist-temp checking people.

But for the first in a long time, I actually found some things I needed and wanted, got to jawbone with happy friends, the old usual of gun shows. I think there was a lot of "cabin fever" to the high attendance, this is the first gun show since February, it's an annual big one, that's been going on for a million years. It is THE "club" gun show for the area, not a "promoter" show.

Prices on the component end were a bit on the high side, some gun prices were "crazy stupid," but there didn't seem to be any gouge artists. Just wanted you to know that it's still possible to have fun at a gun show.

Glad you had a good time with your Dad.

Haven't seen a show around these parts since last year, and by "these parts" I mean within 150 miles.

Basically, there are no events of any kind anywhere around here. Thanks, Papa Andy.

I expect there will be some good shows in the future. The big Tulsa show was canceled in the Spring. First time ever. The Fall show will be huge if they have it.
