What is some things you do or do not do at gun shows? When I went to my first one I didn't know what was the norm. I found out that...
1. Do not dry fire.
2. Ask before you pick up a gun if its ok to "touch". Some dealers are like comic book collectors.
3. You can talk them down, but don't be a lowball. Do research before you go in and have a list of items you are wanting to get, or you'll end up walking out with nothing because of all the many options. I spent 8 hours and didn't come out with anything!
4. Don't take a "Gun values book" and read it when your looking at their guns. If you have to, you can go back out to your car to look up the price. Just be nice.
5. Usually the sales on Sunday will be cheaper to unload inventory, but don't plan on it from some dealers.
