Local Gun Shows
I have had my CCW license for almost a year now, and I just purchased my second gun. I replaced my Taurus PT 145 with a Glock 26. I would like to add a Glock 30 or 36 to give me a good variety. I always hear about the selection and the deals you can get at gun shows, but never know when or where they are. Is this posted anywhere online, or do you just have to be lucky?

Big learning curve! You for sure need to research what you are after before going. Know what they are worth and what you are prepared to pay.
Check the auctions for current price's.

Hello. There's some kind of on-line gun show calendar, but I sure can't remember a URL or title or anything, Google around a little bit. Also there is the Gun List publication, available at many bookstores and newsstands. In the back is usually at least a month's worth of show directory.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

first, willi, good move choosing glock!!
central ohio we've the pro-gun folks running the shows here.
and in s.w. it's bill goodman.
so, good question, who does the shows up in the cleveland area?
i'll bet OMT will show up with the answer.
in addition to knowing what not to pay for something, know what to look for in a piece.
the ptooma book is a good one to read for familiarization with glock. reading that book will help you have a more critical eye for what's on the table. take your flashlight with you.
and good luck finding a decent G30 at a show. most who have them are holding onto them, and shows aren't letting them go cheap.

I have bought a few guns online via gunbroker.com
you have to have an FFL to ship to
I never had any problems...just make sure you know what you are buying..
I don't prefer to do it that way...but have when the price was right
