I wondered if it was standard. I went to my first show last month. Admission was $8. I was surprised they charged. I refused to pay and never went in. I turned to leave and the guy collecting says.."You gotta like guns". I turned back to him and said "I like guns BUT I'm NOT gonna pay just to look at em".
If I were a vendor there I wouldn't like an admission charge..hell you know they pay to be there and I may have bought something. So, I wonder how many folks feel the same.
Did I mention I can squeeze a penny till Lincoln cries?
