What are some of the silly things you've seen, heard, or experienced at gun shows? Here's my story.
I took a platonic girl-friend to a gun show once. She's former Army and somewhat "progressive" ideologically. Well she'd never been to a gun show before and so she didn't know that there are frequently vendors of WW2 militaria (i.e. nazi stuff). So she gets somewhat animated about it and kind of starts to lecture the guy on why that seems inappropriate to her. The guy just stood there with the smuggest grin, like he's waited a lifetime for this moment, and just explained that it's a part of history and it makes money, and so on. I had to usher her away when she started getting louder. I don't take her to gun shows anymore.
And one time I saw a guy holding a flintlock pistol reproduction "gangster style."
