Does anyone know the admission cost for RK gun shows? There is one in Vegas
this weekend, but their website doesn't list the admission, and I called but
just got a machine.

I don't know - but shows here in North Carolina have gone up a lot
on admission recently. From $5 (longtime) to now $6 is typical; one
now $7. Parking is now up from $3 to $4 at some here.
This is hardly the way for an industry short on customers to attract
more.

Under ten bucks I would imagine.

I think that the RK show is $13 or so after all. The other shows are around
$14. That along w/ $3 for parking makes it worthless to venture there for ammo.

I agree, it should be a lot less expensive as to attract a lot more customers.

Cross roads charged $10. I would expect it to be the same. Here is a link to

Here in Colorado they are $6 or $7. One way I found to circumvent that
is to join your local NRA affiliate (or whatever) and volunteer to spend
3 hrs in the booth. Not only is it fun, but you end up making about
$2/hr ;-)

And you help preserve our gun rights by supporting an NRA affiliate!

Some vendors give discounts to other venders and you would be one!

Here in Vegas the charge was $12 and the show was 50% Flea Market Junk. And
that's on top of a $3 parking fee. I'll not attend an RK show again.

True, but rent and insurance costs are going up. If they charge the
exhibitors more, the price of the merchandise goes up. If they charge
the customers fewer will come. There has to be a balance somewhere to
cover the costs.
