I'll take your word for that, as I've never been to a gun show.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about WW2 reinactors (and the weapons they carry)?
|
I can't give a blanket answer to that, because there's all sorts of reenactment troupes. I trust all the guys I fight with, mostly because I know that each and every one of us is pretty well trained and has a long record of safety. I don't know that about each steel reenactment group, to say nothing about WW2 reenactors.
That said, the weapons they carry make me moderately nervous. A lot of them are Springfields and Garands and the like, which aren't much more than the hunting rifles in use today. It's the guy with the BAR that makes me a bit twitchy. That said, my opinion of the situation is complex. I much prefer the Civil War and Revolutionary reenactors. Those weapons were massive, but at least they took a good 30 seconds to load, aim, and fire for the most talented of them.
It's a complex issue, it really is.
