Title: NC Gun Show
Post by: hollandm on November 22, 2008, 01:06:33 PM
Went by the gun show in Raleigh about 1:30 Saturday afternoon.  Two lines very long lines to get in, one person who had just paid said he was in line for an hour.  Decided I didn't need to go in that badly, will try again tomorrow.

It is billed as the largest in the state. It is held at the NC State Fairgrounds. I have been many times, didn't go this time, no money for the good stuff  :'(.  A co-worker who went on Saturday morning called my cell and told me he also had to wait for an hour to get in. I would guess that on average I have seen 3-5 thousand in the building in the past and not had to wait that long to get in.

Back again today.  Show opened at 10:00, I arrived at 10:15 with about 400 people in line ahead of me.  Fast moving today with 4 money takers, took about 25 minutes.  Big building so the crowd wasn't tooo bad.  Left empty handed.
