Well, y'all certainly nailed it on the lack of deodorant 😂 it wasn't that bad, a bit crowded, but everyone was polite. Went to the canby show today and got to hold a 400 or maybe 500 year old Wakizashi, that was cool.
 
Gun Show etiquette:

My own rules for me, having worked (and played, and slept) on both sides of a Gun Show Table all my life:

Do Not handle ANY gun without asking, or unless offered from the table.

Never interrupt or interject in a deal being discussed between others.

If you are in the habit of buying your table early so you can always pick the one closest to the "Walk-ins" door (guns coming in the door), you may fully expect a snicker from other table-holders every time you jump up from your seat to greet the kid carrying Grampa's Winchester.

Dowel Flags help everybody. Seller AND buyer.

Every price is negotiable at a show. If your asking price is not negotiable, it better be damned good (and it's not an "asking price", anyway).

Have fun, become educated, and arrive in a reasonably hygiened fashion. :cool:
 
Shower and no crop dusting, particularly at cramped venues (Rickreall) in the morning rush hours. 😂
You think BO is bad in the aisles? Ever wandered in the bathroom around 10:00 am to take a leak? The air is thick enough to see it, a lot of old timers have their "daily" around that time. Lots of them have poor "sound" etiquette and just let er rip :eek:!!! I heard someone from the hallway and figured I could wait a while before relieving myself, LOL

Especially the one about interrupting a deal or conversation. I really, and I mean REALLY, don't care for or appreciate some random bystander's opinion about my purchases. Unless you are buying it for me, or unless I asked your opinion, just keep your yap closed, lest it collect flies or a foot.

I will also add, heaven help you if you insist on hovering over people while they are filling out the 4473... there will be problems. Private information is not for the public consumption of someone who doesn't respect privacy or personal space.
