Couldn't believe the Oregonian is running an article (more like an advertisement) for the Vancouver Gun Show.

The Vancouver GS usually isn't very good since the new King County gun laws went into effect a couple of years ago. I went once last year and it took all of 20 minutes to walk through it. Back in the day it was $6 to get in and no parking fee. Big Top Promotions took over and the admission kept going up. Now $10 and when I drove there Saturday and saw they were charging $6 to park, I turned around and went home. It's not worth $16 to look at brand new guns. I can do that at Sportsman's.

When did the free parking end? Thats a deal killer for me.

I have been going to gun shows for 25 plus years. Worse gun show I have ever seen was put on by these guys at this location.

I went to one Big Top Promotions gun show a couple of years ago and that was enough............. Never again.

Yeah...
Gunshows have lost their magic for me. After 2000 (SB_23 in CA) began the ones at the Cow Palace got weak. $10 to park plus $10 admission so now I'm out $20 for look at deals I can easily beat at my LGS.
Nowadays on gun show weekends I make it a point to blow $20 at a local area gun shop. If I have a problem, my LGS is there to help. The gun show guy is long gone. This weekend, I decided to hit Gators and blew $100+ there on magazines and ammo. Money well-spent IMHO.

I too was disappointed at the CC fairgrounds show...I thought majority of items were overpriced. Also noticed some knockoffs there. Be wary of cheap magpul BUIS...make sure they have normal magpul packaging... +1 for Gators - nice place - also like On Target Outdoors in Castle Rock...
