I know the feeling. Years ago there were gun shows that specialized in guns (hard to imagine, isn't it?). With political pressure from outside, people were allowed to have tables with a minimum of 10% gun related articles. How can you monitor that? Five thousand sets of fine china, 200 rings and trinkets from Mexico and four worn out .22 rifles. OK..So now the 10% has been dropped and there are many tables that have NO gun related items (beef jerkey, survivalist videos, old coins, used computers, etc.). In my mind it is not sanitized, it just uses "Gun Show" to get people who are interested in guns to come and look at old camp stoves and garlic flavored almonds. (Amazingly, I was at a show not long ago that had crayon drawings from some woman's grandkids for sale..she had taken them off of her refrigerator right before the show). Go figure!
