Des Moines Iowa - Iowa State Fairgrounds Gun Shows
I tried out the Des Moines area during September, and was pleasantly surprised. Despite being a “may issue” state (which as often as not, really means “probably won’t issue”), Des Moines seems to have a good CCW community there, and I plan on attending more shows there. Since I’m adding it to my regular schedule, it’s time to start keeping a page for it. 
Iowa State Fairgrounds 4-H Building
3000 E. Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA
Corner of East 30th Street and E. University Avenue

I will NOT be in attendance at this show, as I will be attending the Topeka Kansas show (my hometown).
