The Concord, NC gun show is this weekend at the Cabarrus Events Arena off NC 49. The promoter has heard the complaints about the show getting smaller and has made a concerted effort to expand the dealer base this show. Both wings of the building will be open and have dealers. I know the guy in charge of the wing on the right as you come in and every dealer in there will be gun related, to include some who specialize in older guns and parts.

We’ll be there in the right wing (ha ha). Who else is going?
 
I swore I wouldn't do it again but...what the hell. ;)
 
I'm out of town otherwise I would donate $8 to the cause. Y'all let me know if it's better this time around.
 
Rifle opener in Anson County this weekend, so....
 
I swore never again. Until a vendor told me this. But, I am going to count the tables, and if there are more than 25% cookies, gutter guard, jerky, purses, jewelry, coins, cloths, dog stuff, or any other non gun, knife or militaria, I'm gonna raise a stink and get a damn refund.
 
Now I'm tempted. It's a bit far for me, but I am a gun show junkee. Ya never know what ya might find....
 
Setting up now. Right side has 84 tables, give or take. All gun related or real military surplus.
 
Left side isn’t full to capacity but makes a good showing of it with the tables that are set up. So far everyone there is gun related but a lot of dealers set up Saturday morning. I am sure there will be some jerky, pain killer cream, etc as there is at all shows now.

I know it will not happen, because it's revenue for the show promoters, but the non-militaria stuff needs to stop. Or, should I set up a militaria table at the next jerky show?

Exactly which building is the show in? Is it the one on the far right as you walk from the parking lot? Or is it back in the building it was in for years, going back to the first shows there?

Far right building as you face the arena.
 
There is a lot of powder here and some other reloading supplies.
 
Much better show so far than the last few have been. Hopefully a sign that they will put the effort in to save it.
 
I typically don’t say much about my business on the forum since I am not a sponsor. My banner starts with the word “Catawba” and has a really cool logo with an FAL, Garand, and some handguns in it. :)
 
He’s the guy with the coolest classic stuff in the show. He was swamped when I walked by. ;)

...and often (or maybe always?) has some kind of burgandy/dark red tablecloths.
