I remember a quote from a Field and Stream article by David E. Petzal.

By the way, it is a little-known fact that if a small nuclear device were detonated at the SCI convention in Reno, Nevada, the pool of gold from the melted Rolexes would be 52 feet in diameter and 8 feet deep.

I no longer attend anything but true gunshows, and some of those are getting nearly as bad. I remember the days of $1 - 50 caliber suplus ammo cans, and inexpensive 7.62x39mm ammo. One show about elevn years back in Houston the MTM booth at the show didn't want to have to pack up a table full of ammo boxes so they just sold them for 25 cents each. Last show I went to the cheapest ammo at the show was 30% higher than the "expensive" gun shop in town. And surplus ammo cans were $20 each. Everybody has to make a living, but I will be danged if I can't for the life of me not understand how you expect to do so if you can't get customers.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
