Promoter
This was a bait and switch. 1 table with a case of used pistols. No guns or gun accessories. Went hoping to get a safe and walked out having been robbed of 10 dollars.
You have to wonder, with all the noise coming out of this administration, if people who would normally be at these shows (Sellers), are bypassing, for fear of some kind of prosecution down the road?
Thank you for the heads up. I was planning to go but not anymore.
what the hell u talking about
Thanks for info I was just leaving but heading to woodstock instead.
Bait and switch….? Not only do you get hit for $12 entrance–there is the $20.00 parking–Rosemont is notorious for sticking it in your ear !! NEVER again!!
Thanks for the update. I think it is time to move to AZ!
All the booths in this "Gun Show" were merely gun clubs, second amendment groups, training businesses or ranges. It all could have been encompassed in rest of the sports show. I felt cheated. One small table of collectible firearms is a gun show now?
Just left the show, this was the biggest waste of time and money. $13 for parking and $12 at the door, not to mention you have to walk 2miles from the parking garage. There were like 10 guns for sale that were a little overpriced, and no gun accessories anywhere. It only took me 20 minutes to walk the entire place and they would not give me a refund, I am very disappointed………………… 1/24/14@ 3:30p.m
This is the worst gun show ever, if you can even call it a “gun” show. There is only one table with some handguns, and there is only one box of AK ammo in the entire “gun” show.
Simply DON’T GO there and tell everyone.
I could not agree more, the people who operate this “Gun Show” should be ashamed and embarrassed, there was only one small table with about dozen hand guns, no other guns. There are more guns and ammo at Walmart. We wasted $20 entry fee plus parking, very disappointed.
False advertising. .this suck so much…what a waste of time and money..there was no guns…no ammo..how can you call it a gun show..maybe should be called waste of time show..I will NEVER GO AGAIN.
Save your money. Looks like the 2015 show will be another time waster. This is from the show description site:
“The show will have a limited number of gun on display for sale. If you are anticipating a traditional gun show with lots of vendors, guns and ammo this is not the show for you. If you want to learn the latest in gun safety, self defense, home safety, IL Laws, etc this is the show for you.”
Thanks for the heads up everyone, was planning on going but not now!!!
This is a Gun & Knife show . HOMETOWN KNIVES are going to setup booths with more then 250 Damascus Steel hand made knives for Display & sale. This will be our 3rd year show at chicagoland gun & knife show 2015.
Which gun manufacturers will be represented at the gun show?
How many guns will be for sale?
My thoughts egggzacklee … Don’t think it would be worth my time on my ONLY day off ….
WORST GUN SHOW EVER. If 0 was an option I would give it a negative 5. I really wish I had read the comments about it before I wasted the time and money to go to it. There was one table that had guns and one table that had ammo. No prices were even comparable to what you can find on the internet. I asked the lady at the door on the way out if I had missed something like another room that had the guns and she said that lots of people had complained and the person that set up the show was in an office around the corner. I felt like something needed to be said so I went in and told him that he should be ashamed of himself calling 1 table of guns a “gun show”. He said that “it was advertised that way”. Either way don’t fall for the bait and switch. You have been warned.
Thanks for your review. I saved money and time.
Was going today but not no more after reading .going to cabelas instead and will wait for the weaton or saint charles gun shows
Nothing at all . Waste of money!
Think of how you would describe your most disappointing experience and start with the words Chicagoland gun show.
Wish I had read these comments before going. Just went there and these comments are accurate. This was an ” Outdoor Show ” not a gun show. Total waste of time, money, and gas. I will never go to this Outdoor Show again.
NOT a Gun-Show at all. Waste of money and they really stick it too you on the Parking, $015.00!
There were very few guns for a gun show. I would not return to this show in the future.
