The Gun Show Wars
They’re continuing. Rumor has it Mike Holloway canceled his 12/31 show. Odds are it’s a good bet since it’s not listed on his site. RK Shows is still on for 12/31. And in February of 2006, there are (for the third time) competing shows scheduled for 2/11 and 2/12. I think RK is putting the squeeze on Mike.

Most of the local gun community frowns on Holloway for having his shows in an ugly facility (which really I like a lot since it has been rehabbed), unlike the airplane hangar where the RK shows are held.
I think that the RK shows have way too much military surplus (old BDUs) and junk (cheap jewelry and dolls).
Earlier this year, I went to a RK show outside of Nashville that I had heard great things about, and it was a complete waste of a day.
If we lose one promoter, I hope it’s not (but suspect it will be) Mike Holloway.

Has to be some reason why the retailers are abandoning Holloway though. The RK show I went to in November had a good number of firearms along with all that junk.

Rumor has it Holloway treated vendors like shit.
