Every few months, the gun show comes to Glendale, California for a two day weekend event. This past weekend was my first time attending this particular location. Never assume its going to be dead. We arrived on day one at 10am-ish (opened at 9am) and people were already fighting for parking. The great thing about this location is that they offer free parking. The work is finding it. Free parking is almost unheard of these days and I hope they keep it that way. If you go onto their website, be sure to print one a copy of their $1 coupon. A dollar saved means an extra bullet or two you can buy. With the coupon, the entrance fee is $8 total. Supposedly, you can also return the next day for free if you went on day one.
There are two floors to the place and many vendors. They were about 3-4 ammo vendors. Do your look around homework first. Don't just buy right off the bat, compare the prices and the supplies and go with what suits you best. Like any other show, everyone is trying to compete with each other. Besides ammo, there's plenty of other things to buy and see. Whether you need stuff for your assault rifles, shotguns, handguns, accessories, cleaning supplies, tactical gear, knives, shoe cleaning products, beef jerky, air soft items, cheaply made China stuff, you name it.
Come early and be prepared for a big crowd. The place isn't entirely huge so you'll kind of feel like you're crammed into a small area. You have no idea how much people love their guns and ammo until you go to these events. I ran into people I haven't seen since high school there, both looking at each other with that "WTF you doing here?" look. I thought the tobacco industry had it good. The NRA (National Rifle Association) are doing great job as well.

Remember: when zombies attack, all you really need is water, some survivial supplies, and tons of guns+ammunition. read more
