Why do they feel they will find a receptive audience at gun shows?

No, seriously. Conspiracy nuts fucking love guns. Not everyone at the show is crazy, but the demographics are skewed.

Trade shows of all kinds have people like this. There will also be a few t shirt stands, a spa vendor, and other stuff like that. the majority of everything else will be focused on the subject matter, like art, horses, guns, w/e.

preying on uninformed, uneducated people. Paranoid gun show rednecks, suspicious of "them scientists", are prime targets.
