Gun shows

Spent some of yesterday at the Tulsa Gun Show. It was my first time - nice size, but the visitor numbers were down apparently...

Saw some folks I like and wanted to talk to, pretended I didn't see one guy I can't stand - one of the select group of antique gun dealers who are borderline crooks. This guy deals in Winchesters, hails from Florida, and has some wispy hair quickly turning from red to white... Kinda sad as he reflects poorly on dealers - particularly since there are a couple other guys in Florida who trade in Winchesters and really know their stuff... Wouldn't trust him if I was drowning and he had a life preserver...

OK, that's just catty...

Regardless, if you are going to get into antique guns, learn who is who and what is what, so the education is less expensive...
