The WORST of the WORST. 1 hanger & no venders, just local whatever they had laying around.
Casper,
Thank you for you comments.
I am not sure which gun shows you are comparing the Lodi Gun Expo or which gun shows you have attended. Perhaps you live in another state that is much more open minded about the Second Amendment and where they are able to display and offer for sale EVERY gun and accessory currently manufactured for civilian use in the United States. If this is the case and this is the first show you have attended it Northern California; then on a comparison level you have the right to come up with any conclusion you so desire.
If on the other hand you are comparing the Lodi Gun Expo to gun shows in Northern California that have been put on in the last several years then your opinion is certainly not based on evidence or fact.
Furthermore, what is your resistance to local business being involved and your desire to mis-characterize
the products that they displayed? These are the folks that are paying local taxes 365 days a year so that there are facilities available to put on events such as this. They of all businesses have the right to be there.
In closing I have to question whether are not you were even there by your characterization of the building the Event was being held as a “Hanger”. This Event was held at the fairgrounds, not an airport. And the block wall constructed building without a door large enough for a airplane to pass through does not look to most of us like a hanger.
If you were really there and you paid for a ticket, we would be happy to refund the $9.00 to you. Please just send a self address envelope to us to P.O. Box 729, Woodbridge, California 95258 and we will be get it sent back to you.

I live in Sacramento “CA”, i don’t travel states for a 2 day show, esp a low graded show.
Casper,
Be my guest to try to improve your experience with california gunshows.
maybe the best place to start is your attitude toward hard working gun dealers who work hard so you can come to a place like Lodi to have a great show.
I always try to keep in mind “people love doing business with people”
Ingnorance is not wanted in our industry.
Do they pay you well to post what your posting? So far, Crossroad of the west is the best to goto. I been going to shows for years, i went to a flea-market gun show in Lodi. Don’t feel offended if i gave a bad feedback. It’s just the “TRUTH”, yes… The truth hurts. Just smile, ok!
Guy, you are a stand up guy. I was just checking out the site and read this ridiculousness.
I just did the Sac gun show right before I did yours and yours blew Sac’s out of the water.
It’s been a pleasure working with you in your inaugural show and many others in the near and distant future
This was a very poorly planed show. Any gun show promoter should know that gun shows are well attended. This promoter apparently was more concerned about getting $9.00 per ticket to get in rather that making it a show worth attending.
Out of three buildings that are attached by large roll up doors between each building, only one building was used. The vendors were around the wall and the center and many were over whelmed by people. There were so many people inside it was shoulder to shoulder just moving as a mass of people. I’m surprised the fire department didn’t shut it down. It was almost impossible to stop and talk to a vendor.
As far as I’m concerned it is $9.00 and two hours of my time that I will never get back. I will not be going to another show produced by Mountain Air.
Edwin,
Thank you for coming to the show. Sorry it did not meet your expectations. You are correct in stating that it was wall to wall people. We too wished that we had been able to get more space. We are having another show at the Lodi Fair Grounds on March 5 and 6, 2016 and have been able to rent the Pavilion building at the fairgrounds which is almost two and a half times larger than the building we were in this time. This of course will be beneficial to most of the people that went to the first event, who I feel confident will be coming back.,
I am not able to give you back your time. but I can certainly refund your $9.00, just send a self addressed envolope to us at P.O. Box 729, Woodbrigde, CA 95258 and I will get it back to you.
Guy
Wow 😲 seems like most gun shows are crowded…. Not just this one…. I found stuff .. Bought stuff.. And will deff be back next year…
Womble,
Thanks for the feed back. We appreciate you coming and appreciate your comments. Our next show in Lodi is on March 5th and 6th. We have been able to rent a much bigger building (About 2 and a half times the size at the Fairgrounds so it should be bigger and better). Email us and I will comp you a copy of tickets.
Guy
I’ve been to the Lodi show and have never had an issue, nor lack of vendors. Easily accessible from both hey 99 and I-5
As a retired LEO I have found everything I need
As the Owner of Tactics Inc.personal firearm training I have promoted the Lodi Gun Show to my students .Keep coming back guys,good job.
Awsome show, wish it was bigger. Very different than the normal boring show.
Wes,
I am glad you enjoyed the show. Next show in Lodi is on the 5th and 6th of March. Email us and I will comp you a copy of tickets. Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks,
Guy
Was a huge turn out… Some nice rare guns… Some nice people… Found exactly what I was looking for there… Thinking about being a vender at the next one..
Was able to find a ppk… At a great price….
The people that run this are some of the best people to work with.
Wes,
Thank you for your comments. We have been able to get a much larger building (About two and a half times the size) at the fairgrounds for our next show on March 5/6 in Lodi. Email me @ info@mountianairepromotions.com and I will comp you a couple of tickets and for our up coming show in Pleasanton on April 2 & 3.
Guy
Lots to pick from good entertainment would like to go to another
Chris,
Thanks for the feedback. We look forward to you attending our next show in Lodi on March 5th an 6th. Email me and I will Comp you a couple of tickets.
Thanks,
Guy
I was at the show both days! It was great, there was a lot of stuff for my kids to do, some really great deals on guns and ammo. There was great food vendors on site, brick oven pizza was incredible. I hear the same crew will be back in town in about March and can’t wait. I think the best parts were not having to drive to Reno, and the great LE deals.
Rizzo,
Glad you enjoyed the show. We are doing it again on March 5th and 6th. Much bigger building this time, so hopefully a little more elbow room. Look forward to you coming to our next show. Email me and I will send you a couple tickets.
Thanks,
Guy
I just don’t like when people can be fake an not honest. They always say “Respect one another”. Learn to respect yourself by not making up stories. The customers that actually went, we did:
Waited in line hoping it would be a great show.
Outcome:
We entered, every ammo over-priced then wal-mart price
Shoulder to shoulder an flea-market items
No selection of anything
-Do you guys get paid to lie to yourself? LMAO!
Casper, Casper,
What can I ever do to make you happy? Probably nothing, but I am going to make you another offer since you did not accept my first one. Not only will I refund you your $9.00 dollars you paid for your ticket and will also send you an additional $9.00 to put towards any gun show that you would like to go to that you would enjoy more. You have my address, so get yours to me and I can get $18.00. to you.
Guy
Thank you for the offer sir. Money is not my concerns, i just would like to attend a gun show that have a few more items/options of a purchase. I know CA is changing an dumb obama is making things worst, i just would like to see the old Lodi shows i used to goto. 2+ hangers. Now that was the days i remember Lodi Gun ShowS.
Went to the Gun expo earlier last year with my dad and had a blast, got our first rifle there, we can’t wait for this one
I have been to several shows. Was very happy to see a show back in Lodi. But very disappointed by the choice of venue. The building was too small for the crowd, both days. If I was not skinny I would not have come back but even with my size it was rough getting around in that small building. Don’t think I will bother this year, unfortunately.
Stephen,
Thank you for your attendance at last years show, and you are absolutely right about size of the building. The response from the community was really great and exceeded all expectations. This year we are in the Pavilion building which is roughly two and a half times bigger and in addition to this we have made the walking lanes 50% wider to accommodate for the heavy traffic. Unfortunately we did experience our fair share of growing pains last year, but hopefully we haven’t lost you as a patron, as I think you would really appreciate the improvements we have made as well as the new vendors we have been able to bring to the coming show in March, which would not have been possible without the attendance of members of the community like yourself. Thank you again for your support and if you can make it out in March we look forward to having you.
If there are any questions or concerns you have, please do not hesitate to reach out, creating the best possible experience is our priority and feedback from our patrons is the best way for us to achieve that.

I enjoyed this show because it had a different feel to it. When I showed up, there was a trick shooter that was performing to a large crowd and surrounding the area was a variety of food vendors. It was great. You could feel that it was not your typical boring gun show. They had a good selection of vendors. I will definitely be returning to their next show.
I went to the previous gun show and enjoyed myself. My only wish was that it was bigger, that being said I am happy that the neXT will be bigger. Looking forward to march 5 and 6
Brett,
Thanks for your attendance last year and we look forward to having you out this weekend.
Mountain Aire Promotions
Glad to have a local show to go to. Yes it was crowded but it was the first event. And there was a very good show of support for this venue. It was nice to see new local vendors. Every other show has the same vendors with the same stuff. Looking forward to the next show in one of the bigger buildings at the fair grounds here in Lodi.
Hey buddy really appreciate the kind words about last year’s event, and thank you for your understanding of our first year growing pains. You’re right it was really great to see such a positive response from the community. Hopefully you can make it out this weekend as I am sure you will appreciate the bigger size and some of the new attractions/vendors that we have been able to bring to the fairground this year.

I’ve never been to a gun show & was very excited to hear about this one. After reading these reviews I’m a little bit skeptical to spend $40 for my family just to get in. Not sure if I’ll be attending now or not.
I am looking forward to attending this show for the first. I am a gun enthusiast and want California gun owners to have awareness of gun safety and accountability. Owning a gun is a right in the USA, we are the only Country that has it written in the constitution as far as I know. I would like to keep that right and want to be apart of the safety and accountability of what I call true “Gun Control” not collection them as our Cal. law makers are attempting to do everyday.
Bob,
Glad to hear you’re going to make it out this weekend and that you are passionate about our rights here in America. I hope you have a great time.
Mountain Aire Promotions
My family and I had a great time. Vendors were very polite and knowledgeable. My daughter turns five this weekend and asked to go back for her birthday. Thank you for finally bringing a gun show to Lodi. We can’t wait to see what this weekend holds!We found great deals and hope to find more. Keep up the good work.
Angela,
Thank you so much for your support and kind words we appreciate it. I am really glad you guys had such a good time at last year’s event, and all of us here at Mountain Aire find it adorable that your daughter wants to come back for her birthday. Shoot me an email at info@mountainairepromotions.com with your contact number and I will give you a call, maybe we can coordinate something like a special birthday wish from the gunslinger while he’s on stage.
Thanks again,
Mountain Aire Promotions
Well i haven’t had the pleasure to visit this show but im hearing good things. This weekend of your March 2016 show i will be doing my RECON work and visiting with friends that will be setting up for this show. I’ve been doing gun shows for almost 20 years all over the western U.S. and in my experiences there are always the unhappy ones. They didn’t make money or vendor’s wanted too much. I always say show up and find out for yourself!! Sounds like a good time with just more than guns & ammo. Looking foward to visiting y’all & hoping for a new show to add on my list. Thank You
K.D.,
Glad to hear you’ll be checking us out this weekend, and I think with your background of prior shows for the last 20 years you will truly be able to appreciate the environment we strive to create at our shows. Thanks for the opportunity and hopefully we can become the next show on your list.

I want to attend the March Lodi show, andwtook a look at your website because I wanted to get a sampling of events. I’m disappointed to find very little info available; even some samplings of past events or expected name-brand vendor info would have been nice, and might increase my enthusiasm. Add to that the lukewarm responses some past attendees offered and I worry that I might end up attending a gun flea-market.
However, since you’ve increased the size of your venue I’m hoping this event will be a good one, and I hope I’ll be one of those guys that posts a positive comment on this forum.
This is going to be my first gun show after reading thsee comments I sure hope it will not be a waste of my time an money just getting back to guns after 35 year away from them just bought a couple new ones hope it’s a good show
I have a question I’ve personally never been to one so not sure how everything works but I was wondering if all venders were still going to attend due to the rain we are supposed to have and if will they be accommodating for it?
WOW! …… Now I’m curious about this show. I was planning on going Sunday and now I need to go to see for myself. I don’t have anything to compare it to since I didn’t attend last year. It’s not that far and $9.00 is worth the gamble. I like Lodi and enjoy the wineries. If the show is a dud, off the tasting rooms we go.
This years gun show was great, we spent over 1500.00 on gun and ammo, I wish I had more money I would have bought some more guns. WOW will come back next year, 03/05/2016
Attended the show on Sunday and was very happy. Bought several items at great prices from friendly staff. Good selection to choose from. The venue was clean and no charge for parking. Will attend again.
Yesterday I went to the Mountain Aire/Lodi gun show.
It was pretty well set up and was a pretty darn good show. There must have been at least 300 to 400 people there at the same time we went, which was just after noon.
You can’t always believe every review you see about anything, you have to read a lot of the reviews to know if something is good or not. Sometimes some people just post bad reviews because they didn’t like one thing or another, or they had a bad experience with someone, and want to take it out on the whole production. As for me this gun show was a good experience! I have not been to any others that were any better yet.

For a Gun Show in California it was pretty weak, for the following reasons i.e; no notices of not carrying concealed weapons, except for vendors-contractors-security personal-on duty peace officers. The security staff had all the bells and whistles on their uniforms with the exception of a firearm. Most of the vendors really had stock they couldn’t move in their stores. A large Confederate flag, being displayed next to the US Military table and six different vendors displaying items for sale with the above mentioned flag on the items they had for sale. A presidential candidate’s table (Trump) waving his official political placard whenever a Black person walked by. By no means I’m I bashing your company, but merely pointing out conditions that you might not be aware of and to inform people of color of the atmosphere before they attend one of you events in California. It will be real interesting the next time your company comes to Lodi CA for your 3rd show, to see how you’ll make all potential customers comfortable. Also remember social media helps and HURT’S an event.
On a positive note, the ammo tables did good.
