Lots of cowboys stuff, Nazi stuff, and assorted crap. There were lots of people who even dress up like cowboys, Indians, Civil War soldiers, and WW II soldiers. Whatever.
The gun show scene in LA has never been the same since LA County decided not to allow the gun show on county property and since the Fairplex is county property, so went the gun show. There were usually lots of gun dealers there and some distributors. For example, some large HK distributors would be there. That's the only place I've ever seen an HK PSG-1. There were good deals on guns and ammo.

sigh.. the golden days. The shows down here used to be great and jam packed with vendors with lots of wares to buy. Too bad they all faded away along with 75% of gunshops that used to be here. They still have gunshows down here in ontario, and I think at the oc fairgrounds, but a few years ago LE would show up in force and try try to entrap many of the vendors and pull sting operations during the shows and pulling people over when they leave the shows. This caused many show promoters/organizers to have fewer and fewer shows since all the harassment from Lawdogs. They even tried to sue the city for lost monies due to their interference. IMO I think the show organizers pissed someone off, or did not do things right with the city by paying enough for law officers to enforce the show.
