Mort confessed years ago to buying his stuff from a company just like this.

It might be the same jerky!

Yeah, he told me that just researching what it would take to do his own thing brought Food and Drug down on his ass.

There was one in Oldsmar this weekend at the flea market. $10 to walk around inside with no AC in 90 degree heat. I saw what was coming for me, and I went inside anyway. I lasted 20 minutes. Maybe a dozen vendors. Prices of guns at least $100 above what I could drive 15 minutes in each direction for. Some guy was selling $10 boxes of Walmart game shotshells for $40.

At least the parking was free. And a reminder not to waste my time at these things again.

Went to the Miami show today, had a great time. Bought a new gun for a great price from SS, as did my friend (he also bought some ammo). Enjoyed eyeing the young Latinas, who know how to dress (my God). And went across the street to Luis Galindo's Latin American #2 for lunch. What more can an old fuck want out of life?

I really thunked hard about going to that show today but ran out of time.. But would not like the lack of air conditioning.. Ouch.

Was this Show dominated by one dealer who had a large majority of tables?? Was there any walk in guns?? Any older ones??

Thanks

I haven't been to an Orlando show in probably 10 years, so it is kind of hard for me to answer, sorry.

Orlando no longer allows private sales, so no walk-ins. I stopped going.
