Just wanted to know if there was any gun shows coming up either soon or in the near future. Would like to hear about any shows in pa, de, or nj. This might sound like a dumb question but are you allowed to carry at these gun shows. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

You are asked to surrender your firearm before you pay and enter the show, at least that's how they did it at VF. It's funny, my buddy and I purposely left our guns at home, and we were asked to surrender our guns at the door. My friend explained to nice guy that he was unarmed, to which the man said, "yes, ok, please put them on the table." Sir you did not hear me, I am not carrying, "ok, right here so I can tag it, you too sir (me)" I'm not carrying today either. "Uh huh, come on guys, you're holding up the line." To which the trooper came over and asked what the problem was. I said he thinks we are carrying, but we are not. The trooper says, "jerry, they're not carrying." Jerry obviously is puzzled by this. The trooper says, "guys, go on and enjoy yourself, jerry's a little hard of hearing."

odd..the last time I went to a VF gun show, which was probably 2 years ago or so, I think they threw a zip tie inside the slide of the gun so the slide didn't close entirely then gave the gun back to the owner and had them on their way.

They still do that.
