YOUR OPINION: Disappointed by gun show

Jerry Thomas,

Jefferson City

Dear Editor,

I would like to voice my opinion concerning the recent "inaugural gun show" at the Jaycees Fairgrounds.

This was one of the biggest and the worst gun show we've had in Jefferson City; it should have been listed as a gun and yard sale.

I would say at least a third of the show was totally unrelated stuff to a gun show. Hand guns and plastic guns make a lot of the gun shows nowadays, but at least most gun shows have a fair number of old Winchesters/Marlins and the like. This one did not. Although the other gun shows in the Jefferson City area are smaller, the majority of the stuff in them is gun and knife related.

A lot of people paid a high fee to see a few guns and a lot of China knives and a lot of yard sale stuff.
