Is anyone planning on attending 'America's Gun Show'?

SavageShooter · Apr 19, 2014

Yes friday

computerguy911 · Apr 19, 2014

I've never been but am curious, not sure which is the best day?

Probably Friday, but the traffic afterwards is usually a real b*tch.

Gmercury2000 · Apr 20, 2014

Def going, probably be down there Sunday. I want to go Friday but like stated the traffic is probably horrible.

I would like to go on Saturday morning, but all I'm looking for are some Pmag magazines. Does anyone know if vendors at this show well Pmags for .308 AR rifles? It seems like everyone has Pmags for a 5.56 AR, but not for .308.

Clifjr · Apr 20, 2014

The last show they had there was dealers with mags for sale all over but I didn't notice what they had as I wasn't really looking for any.

jjsat · Apr 20, 2014

Last 2 shows there I did see PMAGS for AR10.

bilbravo · Apr 20, 2014

Going Saturday AM with a few folks.

Thanks. I'll go take a look and see what comes up. I just remembered I ran out of large rifle primers, and I can use some new cleaning jags for my rifles. Somehow, the list gets longer the closer we get to the show.

I'll be curious of the number of "I won't sell a long gun to you because you live in MD" dealers there are this time and if any of the ones that turned my dad down still sing the same tune. I think I'll ask each one and then compile a list to post so people dont' waste their time. Or maybe present the list to the show organizers mentioning that this sort of thing discourages show attendance and is not a very "solidarity" move on the vendors part. I know its within their rights to not sell, but its within our rights to mention who is not selling too. And I'm not talking selling an HBAR, My dad was turned down buying a Ruger 10/22 for gosh sakes.

I'm sure there will be some if not alot. I encountered the same issue at oaks earlier this month. Handful said no a couple said yes. This was for a m&p 15-22. Finally found a dealer with the one I wanted well below what was being offered in MD. Would have rather purchased from an IP locally but, this time I needed the hundreds i saved in my pocket.

I wants to buy a new pistol for target shooting and interested in going in some good gun show for information about good guns which is suitable for me. Also, I am doing firearm shooting training.

uh Ok…...

Please be careful because if guns cause crime, gun shows would be the most dangerous places on earth! I could wet my panties just thinking about all those scary guns in one place. :ohnoes:

Pstango · Apr 21, 2014

I'll be there sat with a friend, mainly to just fondle as many guns as I can. I may also pick up a few magazines or a few parts.

If you stop wearing panties, the problem would go away.

I'll have to agree. It is quite discouraging to wait in line, only to find out that a dealer believes the second amendment does not apply to MD residents. Certainly his right not to sell, but I also reserve the right not to buy anything else from him....ever! I think we neeed to get some MD Shooters Approved bumper stickers for the "good" vendors to display so we don't accidentally spend money with the other guys.

Melnic · Apr 21, 2014

Make them feel the pain.
Ask them if they sell long guns to Md. And if they say no then say " I was going to buy this (insert non firearm item) but I don't buy from vendors who exclude Marylanders ".

Turbohugh · Apr 22, 2014

MMmmm Hoping for a good deal on some 7.62 ammo. Some non-magnetic would be nice. Do they have 'we wont sell to you' ammo people as well? I know ammo sales to DC residents are unrestricted as long as I have my registration, however I did run into a vendor that was ignorant of this fact in the past.

A relative says an ammo dealer carded him once at Dulles to see where he's from, but I've never been carded at any gun show when buying ammo. I guess some sellers do, but most don't.
