Coming up this weekend, SCSG will be there with lots of used firearms and some great deals on new firearms! Stop by and see us!

First/last time I went to this show the hall and tables were mostly empty and everything was insanely overpriced... is that par for the course or it worth coughing up a few bucks to check it out?

When was that “last time”?

I’ve made it a point to go to as many shows there as possible. Our IPs need our support. And I’ve met and talked to many new shooters who appreciate the information about their new interests. Some prices were more than they should have been... and some deals were better than expected.

But if we all stay away... the Anti Gunners WIN when the shows no longer come there due to lack of support.

The last show there was better than other recent shows. I expect this one should be better as well.

The days of getting great deals on firearms at gun shows is over. You might pick up something because it's not at your local gun store. The cleaning supplies is why I go to shows lately. Not that they are sold at discounted prices, but because it's in front of you and you know what you're buying. I don't blame the shops who set up at the shows, it's just that I'm used to the old days when you could get that great deal on a firearm. It's a good time if you go just to walk around, look at things that you have interest in and maybe talk to a few old friends. I miss the sellers that used to set up at the shows. But because of the laws in MD, most don't waste their time at our gun shows.

Yeah, there's one here this weekend too. Takes about 4 or 5 hours just to see every table. :cool:

You can still find deals sometimes, just depends on what your looking for..

Timing + open mind + location = Opportunity.

Finding breakfast is difficult when one doesn’t go to the table.

Is that just the neighbor hood yard sale? :innocent0

dist1646 · Apr 26, 2019

If you don't go, you will never know if there were any deals to be had. That is unless someone on the forum posts it up here for you to drool over.

Like RD said and I have been preaching for years. If you don't support these shows, they will disappear. I always go to the Timo shows. Sometimes I walk out with the cash I came in with, sometimes my arms are full....

Heads up, I think Sugar loaf is this weekend as well, so try to park on the Timonium RD side of the building.

I went to the last Timonium show with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised with a really good deal on HST ammo. I also picked up a bag full of parts (like 1911 grips) that were just too cheap to pass up.

IIRC, EBR's were reasonably cheap as well, with Colts just about $1k. Obviously not the $399 Ruger EBR prices you see on the Interweb from time to time, but not bad for MD pricing.

I don't think you can even try to compare a gun show in MD to the one's in the Lone Star State that P5 has access to. I've been at gun shops in Reno that could make Frosh's head spin if he was to wander into one.

Do they offer the utah non-resident class at this show?

Mr H · Apr 26, 2019

I go to every one I can, if only to add one to the headcount in an effort to support the Unicorn.

I buy less than I used to, but it's still important, IMO, to be there.

Remember that we have already lost shows... Upper Marlboro and HoCo (both Silverado). Without a vocal and supportive public, Frederick will be next, and maybe Timonium.

ohen cepel · Apr 26, 2019

I want to go but booked up this weekend sadly.

Bad day at a show is better than mowing the yard for me!

Luigi2020 · Apr 26, 2019

I bought my first shotgun at the Timonium show a long time ago. I'll be there tomorrow looking for my first revolver. Hopefully there will be a decent sized crowd.

Annapolis Armory show also gone.

rseymorejr · Apr 26, 2019

I think the first gun show I ever went to was at the Civic Center (or maybe 5th Regiment Armory, I really can't remember) My Father took me, I was about 12 or 13. I couldn't believe all the guns they had there, seemed like millions. I think that's what got me hooked!

Mr H · Apr 27, 2019

Good seeing RD, ShafTed and Biggfoot44 at the table.

Sorry I had to bolt, but we were busy having a new granddaughter, and I didn't have my phone with me!
