Thanks. Impossible to say what will happen at this point. I’ll immediately shift all my time to online sales, but if people can’t or won’t spend money on non-essentials, that will do only so much.

Keep in mind, there are some of us, that are looking for certain firearms, will pick up FTF. As long as you are covered in hand sanitizer and wrapped in plastic wrap. For our protection,...of course.

Gov. Cooper’s order banning public gatherings of 100 or more people.

Is it true Cooper hasn’t banned religious gatherings? Anyone know an FFL who could conduct services at the show? ;)

Somewhere it was posted churches aren’t exempt from the 100+ prohibition. I haven’t actually seen the announcement.

Mrs. Jeppo says it’ll be business as usual tomorrow.

I learned an important lesson today. Unfortunately, with the prospect of no more gun shows (hopefully only for a while), I learned it too late.

I brought a recently purchased gun to show @cubrock and then carried it around the show in a rug. I had about a dozen people ask what I was carrying and how much I wanted for it. Now I understand how @edwardyoung and others are able to consistently sell guns in shows without a table.

The key, Jeppo, is to be willing to take less than the offers you’ve already turned down when you tried to sell it here on CFF. I’ve usually offered it/them in trade to somebody selling the gun I’m going to buy with the proceeds of the sale, and been turned down. As long as I cover the cost of the gun I was willing to trade even for, I can rationalize that I did all right. I think people smell the desperation on me and make lowball offers. My biggest problem is that I’m an emotional gun buyer. Oh well, it’s only money.

I intended to go to the show first thing Sunday morning and try to dump a Sporterized Mauser to finance a wholly unnecessary purchase I’m considering. Hey Steve, are you interested in that 30-06 Mauser with the Douglas barrel I asked your opinion on before? I could meet you up there in the morning while you’re packing up

Gubmint been wanting to shut down gun shows - they found a way to do that and more. @cubrock, in the absence of shows, surely it would be permitted for you to post links to your online sales here so folks could have a looksee?

Maybe so. If I go that route, I'll pony up for one of the sponsorships. I was actually chewing on that contingency already, especially if I start digging into my ammo stash or something like that. Even with prices rising on ammo, I'm underwater on most of it. Bought it during the Obama boom. LOL

This is true. I was going to put a gun up for sale on here but it can wait a little bit. At least till my hazmat suit comes from Amazon
 
Well crap. Tomorrow's my birthday, and I was hoping to find something at the gun show (looking for a P226 or something cooler). Should have gone today, I guess.

Sucks. I was going back to pick up a CZ P01 Omega this morning from Village Pawn.
