Momoko's brother in law asked me if I wanted to go to a gun show with him. I said no, but if he was going, I would tag along. He picked me up in his Chevy Malibu rental (his car got hit and is being repaired). He printed out $2 off coupons for the show. There was heavy metal playing from his playlist in his car.
We went to the state fair grounds. It was hard to drive in as all but the main entrance was closed. Once we did get on the premises, it was difficult to locate close parking. Entry to the show was a reasonable $14. We paid $12 after redeeming the coupons.
There were more than just guns at this show. There were coins and old currencies. I liked the Japanese swords. Machine-made ones were reasonable. Hand-made ones cost a lot of money. I saw a $5 sale for t-shirts. Unfortunately they only had small/medium/large sizes.
The most interesting item was a wooden plaque custom made to load bullets into a clip. It ran for $75. I asked if they could ship out of state. They said yes, if I paid a $15 shipping fee. Momoko's brother-in-law said no to a raffle that was offered. He also bargained down a wire scorpion from $10 to $5.
We saw one last vendor in the lobby on the way out. We took the scenic path home. Had trouble finding an on ramp to the highway. We drove by our favorite theater.
