Post what you will be looking for at the show.  One of the sellers may see your post and bring it to the show.  Many of the old time sellers have tons of stuff at home - believe me, Ive seen it.

I'm gonna try real hard to attend on Saturday.  My family and I go on a Disney trip on Sunday. ;D

I hope somebody is selling some CCI 22LR. ammo.  I want to buy Mini Mag 40 grain round nose and hopefully some 40 grain velocitors.

Last time I visited LGS nobody had.

I have TSN-82SV on my buy/wish list. But it’s been a while since I did research on a new spotter.

I used to take my dad every show. Mostly yo walk around and see people and talk story. He would almost always pick up a knife or something for his M1 Garand or 1903. He always enjoyed those.

Yeah, Dad memories are one of the best, aren't they? :shaka:

I wish my sons would bring me to the gun show this weekend.  Problem is, I don't have sons, I have 3 girls and their interest in guns are the same as cockroaches........they go "eeeeekkk...." and run away. ;D

I do have 2 grandsons but they too young to even know what a gun is, lol!

I never hung out with my dad at gunshows.  Strange, but we hung out at swap meets.  He had a fetish for kitchen stuff.  Stuff you use at large parties, stirring ladles, monster woks, stockpots the size of jet fuel tanks.  Viking style butcher knives.

He was a cook in the National Guard, my unit and his were next to each other and he would look for me and stuff my rucksack with bread, apples, and other goodies to share with my squad when we were getting ready to hump the boonies.

He loved to cook.  Typical Filipino man!! :rofl:

Sorry.   :stopjack:  Memories.

the only Dillon dealer is WGS. They may have a table. Powder and primers are in very short supply. I did see cases of UNIS/GiNEX primers at WGS on Thursday.

HHAA does not allow the sale of gun powder at the show.  IDK why that is; primers and other components are OK.

As someone who's never been, is this cash only or do they take CCs?
Title: Re: Aloha “Great Guns” Gun Show
Post by: Lihikai on September 30, 2022, 09:46:05 PM
The commercial vendors generally accept CC.  The private sellers mostly take only cash

Yes
No carts during show hours unless escorted by a show committee member.
Babies in strollers are exempt.

Thanks for the replies.  We didn’t get any heat for having kids in a wagon type stroller.

This gun show was very slow.  IDK if it's cause the range is closed.  But usually YG and SEC have long lines to buy ammo on saturday morning. Like 20 min wait to buy something. This time, it was like no weight.

And ammo is cheaper than what it was in March, so it's not the prices.

Personally, I didn't buy ammo for the first time because IDK when I'm going to shoot it.  I have a comfortable amount and I typically replace as I shoot. Haven't shot in Sept until who knows when.

Met a guy form Maui who has his CCW.  He will show up tomorrow and ask why HPD is making so many requirements when MPD isn't.  I think this might be the most powerful testimony.

Met a couple from Vegas who have their CCW.  Petite asian woman, and not your typical looking white gal (wears 5.11 pants and trucker hat, etc...).  She mentioned she too had to disarm when she was at the pool at Circa.  They did a bag check, so she had to go to their armory.  She hasn't taken a official defensive type handgun class, only the class that is required for CCW. I suggested she do so and she will sign up once they go back home.  She did the simulator that HIFICO had, which opened up her eyes to how fast things happen.

They both thought HI's gun laws are BS.

Talked to a guy who had 2 TTI Combat Masters 2011 (John Wick 3) on his table for sale. He wanted $20K each.  YOu can go on gunbroker and find them for the buy now price under $10K.  Ive been looking for a few months now and have seem them constantly available.

I was looking at this guy's table with some Twosun knives and he was explaining to me how a flipper knife works, "this is the flipper tab. it runs on bearings so it is smooth opening, you can open it with 1 hand."
I said, "oh really, you mean like this???"  as I whipped out my ZT0308  :geekdanc:

I was tempted by a Shadow Systems pistol with damascus slide and Holosun optic, but was out of my budget range

Everyone here should submit testimony for bill HB426.  A seller of a gun, gun part, or ammo can be held liable if it's used in an illegal manner if they didn't use "reasonable measures" to insure the buyer isn't a prohibited person.
