THIEVES ARE DEVIOUS AND OFTEN WELL ORGANIZED AND HAVE NO REGARD FOR OTHERS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE BUT IN TODAY'S SOCIETY WE NOT ONLY HAVE HOME GROWN, GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED, PRISON EDUCATED CROOKS WE HAVE CROOKS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL. OFTEN THE LAWS REGULATE THE LAW ABIDING WHILE THE CRIMINALS GET MANY CHANCES AND LOOPHOLES IN THE LAW TO CONTINUE THEIR PROFESSION. THE BATTLE OF GOOD AGAINST EVIL CONTINUES
THE TULSA SHOW IS MOSTLY MODERN GUN RELATED BUT THERE ARE MAJOR DEALERS IN ANTIQUE AND RARE GUNS AS WELL. THERE ARE RELATIVELY FEW ETHNOGRAPHIC ITEMS AND ANTIQUE EDGED WEAPONS AT THE SHOW BUT SOMETHING OCCASIONALLY SHOWS UP. THE BALTIMORE SHOW AND LOUISVILLE SHOWS HAVE A LOT MORE OF THAT SORT OF THING. THE LAS VEGAS SHOW IS SAID TO BE LARGE BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN SO DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE THERE.
THE SHOWS HAVE CHANGED OVER THE YEARS AND SOME LIKE TULSA THAT USED TO HAVE GOOD ETHNOGRAPHIC AND EDGED WEAPON SELECTIONS NO LONGER DO.
