Vendors spent Friday afternoon setting up for the Texoma area's biggest gun, knife and collectibles show.
Three hundred tables at the MPEC were being packed with guns, ammunition, knives and other collectibles.
Coordinators say every gun show over the past two years has been sold out.
But they say this first show of the year actually sold out before 2013 even began and before the latest rush to buy ammo and guns sparked by the call for more gun control laws.
"The last show was early December... the first week of December and we were about 90% sold before they ever left here and by Christmas we were sold out," says Joe Tom White, coordinator of the Wichita Falls Gun and Knife Show.
The Wichita Falls Gun and Knife Show is this weekend at the MPEC's Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall.
The doors open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is $5 per person but on Saturday, if you attend the University Kiwanis Pancake Festival and bring your ticket stub $5 will admit two people.
