I know very little about MD gun laws and this is obviously the place to ask. If I go up to the Gun Show in Harrisburg this weekend what can I come home with? I'm pretty sure a hand gun is out of the question. But what about a rifle or shot gun? I assume that ammo, mags, etc. are OK.
What can I buy at the Harrisburg Gun Show?

My understanding is that most "assault" style rifles are cash and carry at that show. If one vendor says no, try another. MD laws on this subject are open to some interpretation, especially when concerning heavy barrel AR-15's.
High capacity mags will be there and it is legal for you to buy them. The law states they can not sell or transfer >20 rd mags in MD but it in NOT illegal to possess them, so buy as many as you like.
Ammo is fine, no restrictions.
All shotguns and non-"assault" style rifles are cash and carry, no problem. You would not be able to buy handguns there unless they are willing to hold it for the waiting period. If a MD dealer is there, he could probably sell you a handgun and have you pick it up from his MD shop the following week.
hope this helps.

Be very careful with any regulated firearms or copycats.
With a very few exceptions the only one that is exempt from the Md Pistol process and waiting period is the Heavy Barrel AR....make sure you get a receipt that clearly shows that it is an HBAR to cover your posterior.

No such thing as cash and carry......you need to do an FFL on it....
To be honest you might find it quite a bit easier to just purchase locally

Cash and carry means you just have to fill out the simple one page ATF form. They call it in right there and you can take it with you from the show. Cash and carry is just saying you don't have to go through any extended wait time or background check. You can take the gun home that day.
At MD shows, anything that is not specifically regulated by the state would be okay to take home that day. Hand guns and what they term "assault" rifles would be subject to the seven day wait list.
Pennsylvania does not subject "assault" style rifles to any extra wait list. I've been told by friends that most dealers at this show will sell to MD folks cash and carry but be careful because depending on what you are getting, you may be breaking MD law as soon as you cross back into state.
Safest advice - if you are looking to buy an assault-style rifle, it's probably best to do it here in Maryland to cover you ass. Other rifles, shotguns, ammo, and mags are all fine to buy at the Penn show.
Good luck.
