Today Was A Dud

The snow this morning was a bit of an omen that today would be a bit of a dud.

Instead of going to Grandpa's Grill in Gallup, we went instead to Denny's at the Flying J. We decided to go to the Gallup Gun Show while we were at Denny's. The snow was pretty much melted away from the area roads.

We (I rode with Greg and Larry Lucier) headed to the Gallup Community Center after breakfast. When we got there, there were no cars and the Community Center was all locked up.

I called the sponsor of the show, Blue Maverick Guns and left a message. Minutes later they called back and said the show was canceled. The reason: only three vendors signed on. You can't have much of gun show with only three vendors. They said even the local gun dealers didn't participate. 

Oh, well. Like Greg and Larry said, we saved some money.  

More Spring Snow

This morning, I woke up to about 2" of snow on the ground and deck. This was a bit of a surprise.

Our group is supposed to go to Grandpa's Grill in Gallup and, from there, go to the Gallup Gun Show.

Hopefully, the snow will melt by the time we're supposed to go. If not, maybe we'll have to wait and go to the gun show tomorrow.

I thought we're in springtime.

Gallup Gun Show April 6-7

The Gallup Gun Show returns next month.

Blue Maverick Guns has posted that it will take place at the Community Service Center on April 6-7. A group of us went to the 2023 show and bought a few items. 

It will be worth going to before the New Mexico 7-day waiting period law for buying firearms goes into effect in July.

Buy, Sell, or Trade Guns, Knives, Ammunition, Optics, Collectibles, Jewelry, and Other Handcrafts Arts.
