    I would really like to know if the 100 or so tables of decent gun dealers are going to be 50 tables with 1/2 occupancy before I drive 3hrs.
    That's the reason why I don't even go to gun shows anymore. This one is no more than ten minutes away from me and I'm not going. I would rather drive to about four or five gun shops and shop around in them rather than drive to a gun show, sometimes pay to park , then pay to get in and just to look at overpriced junk. In addition to the clogged up aisles.

    I went to that last year and bought a couple of things but I forget what. For me it's nice to get into a different region and see what's out there. The local shows are kind of like groundhog day.

    I'm close to 80 so this isn't much of a drive. The "500 vendors" is 500 tables. Last year at this time I drove down to have a holster made from the one Kydex guy always there. Except...........he wasn't there. My next stop at this show is the guy with all the reloading supplies and especially powder. Except........he wasn't there either! This isn't a bad show at all in normal years. However, the pandemic has hurt this and many others.

    Nothing on Eagle Arms website suggests it's off. Was planning to attend but probably stay home now...wife sick, feels like CV based on symptoms and the fact that her sister has it.

    Was refused entrance without a mask. With people standing 5 foot inside the door without masks on.

    First time at Bloomsburg from about 9:00-11:00. Seemed spacious compared to other EA shows, not as crowded, and I got some 22mag at a great price. Was looking for some things: 20ga pump, Taurus 942 or 856, affordable 38 spcl, and unfortunately didn't see much.

    I'd go back, especially since it's 5 minutes from I80 between home and the cabin.

    I went this morning. (Sunday). Disappointed. No holster guy. I wanted a couple made but will go online for them now. Was looking for some specific mags and more specifically, some of the Pierce Magazine Grip Extenders. (none). Wanted to find a "good" set of 38spl/357 mag dies. (Rusted junk). Lots of AR/AK stuff & guns, stale cosmoline smalls abound around the lower than rack grade M1 Garand's, M1 carbines, Mosin's that must have been made of rare earth metals, 20+ year old ammo at quadruple a normal 2020 price, and 70 dollar a lb for old smokeless powder from the ONE dealer that had any powder there. And....................lots of Chinese knives, gadgets, bologna, etc, etc, etc. Nice folks. I just miss the pre-Covid19 Eagle shows.
