After doing some travel for work last week I was checking over my leave balances and it looks like I'm going to be forced to take a bit over 40 hours of annual leave before the end of the year (use or lose). I'm not good at taking vacation (hence why I've accumulated so much leave) so I was thinking of maybe heading out to Central Florida for a few days, and wanted to see if I can schedule it around a good gun show.
My question is, what is the biggest/best show in the Orlando/Central Florida area? I'd hate to waste a trip on one of these little shows unless you guys think it's particularly good. I tend to like looking through used guns and parts tables, so if there's a small show that fits that I may be amenable, but I usually prefer larger shows as there's more to look through.
So, central Florida guys, what advice do you have for me?

Lakeland Rifle & Pistol Club shows have always been my favorite.

Excellent! Thanks, that looks like just what I'm looking for, and it's far enough away I can plan out a trip.
I'd still like to hear from others if there are any other opinions.

Only one left worth it IMO (Lakeland R/P club show).
Thanks, since the next one is Sept 16-17, I was thinking of heading there that week. As it happens, my dad who's been in the Caribbean for several years finally came back to S. Florida for a job and then suddenly got laid off.

I believe there is one this weekend (1/13-14/24) at the Central FL Fairgrounds.
Actually, it looks like it's next week. My plans to make it to the last one got torpedoed at the last minute so I wish I'd known about this one earlier so I could have planned it out a bit. I may still try to make it though.

I actually wasn't referring to the Lakeland Show, the one this weekend 1/13-14 at the Central FL Fairgrounds looks to be the one that Shoot Straight runs.cvasqu03 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 12:56 amActually, it looks like it's next week.
