    The show is at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont.

    However, I did attend many shows at the old National Guard Armory in North Boulder and even one or two in the Fairview High School gym in the late 80's and early 90's.

    meh...I would do a Tanner. The smaller ones are ok but you'll get a chance to see the full gamut of gun show asshattery. From hearing the fricking taser every 5 seconds to the CBD lotion booth handing out free samples...oh, almost forgot the booth selling curling irons...

    But there's some good or decent deals to be had. You just gotta sift through some garbage and keep your eyes open!

    Don't forget the all too often NDs at Tanner.

    Aw, come on now, it’s been at least a year since they had one. They are doing pretty good in that Dept. But the raising of the entry fee and table prices is what is going to kill them. You can only charge so much before people quit paying for the privilege of buying overpriced merchandise.

    I see it more as an entry fee to a gun museum or library.

    I enjoy small shows. They seem to bring more small shop or private venders with stuff not commonly found at large shows. I'm always digging through parts bins and buckets. My way to pan for 'gold'.

    I've been to a few Tanner Gun Shows and have yet to find a compelling deal and haven't bought a thing. I do enjoy the chit-chat, and I've met a few interesting folks there.
