I like going to gun shows. I like looking at guns. Some are better than others. I never look to see who's promoting them. Thanks Lee for letting me know.

+1. Not interested in the drama but am interested in the show.

Thanks lee2.

I think what lee is trying to say is hey here is the gun show.

See, I originally thought that, but he seems to be defending this particular gun show promoter in several threads. He also hasn't come straight out and said "I have no financial interest in this show."

And why should the firearms community support people that may be trying to screw over the firearms community? Maybe you guys forgot about where this gun show refuses to give MSI table space?

first of all i dont have to explain anything to you. do you have a financial interest in getting others not to go to this show?
maybe you have personal vendetta against the promoter or an affiliation with someone who has a vendetta.

Also. Lou sold me my police issue Mini-14 several years ago and it's still kicking butt and taking names. So thanks for that!

One of those stainless and black stocked beauties went home with me.

It looked like a brand new gun.

It's why he does such a brisk business at the shows.

Other vendors could learn a lot from him.

Agreed.

Anyone know if these are still available and at what price?

mopar92 · Jan 3, 2015

Available but I cant remember price off the top of my head.

SavageShooter · Jan 3, 2015

Just went to the Chantilly show yesterday awesome as usually. Went to the Timonium show two years ago, a disgrace what a joke. I'll never go again. I'll drive 60 miles to Chantilly anytime no problem. Seven shows there this year. Only half decent show in MD by Silverado at Howard Co. & Frederick.

Why is it that so many folks feel compelled to drop a deuce in someone else's Fruit Loops? If you don't like the producer/promoter... that is cool... don't attend the show. But to come in and Negative Nellie another mans thread after he specifically and politely ask you not to is just bad form.

Start your OWN "Hatin' on Maryland Gun Show" thread... Say all you want as long as it is within forum rules and protocol... But what is your personal interest in harshing another mans mallow? :sad20:

Thank you for telling us about TWO YEARS AGO... Much has changed since then...

HeatSeeker · Jan 6, 2015

I love all gun shows. I have bought and sold at several shows in Timonium over the past couple years. I don't give a damn who is promoting it....it's a gun show. If you hate the show or the promoter then don't go and STFU!

Ungermc · Jan 6, 2015

I don't attend every show and like everyone, I have my favorites. Every show I do attend I nearly always come away with value, even if no more than a good chat up with a couple vendors or fellow attendees. Like life in general, you get out what you put in.

Chriss · Jan 7, 2015

Gun show where our IP's participate = good
Having personal issues with the promoter= meh
Watching someone try and troll Lee and not get a bite = priceless

Party on Wayne
Party on Garth

mdonzi · Jan 7, 2015

hunting sat but will be there sunday

ma_deuce · Jan 7, 2015

If you miss the show, you'll miss all of Lou's neat-o stuff. Re price on the Mini-14s, bastard cut the price after I bought mine. I believe they were $750 last I looked. Stout as all hell and worth every penny.

Lee2, what is your business interest in this show? If you're going to be shillin, you need to pay for an IP account.

Kilroy, lee2 hasn't a financial or business "interest" in the Timonium show or other shows for that matter. He has been announcing just about 80% to 90% of upcoming MD "Gun Shows" regardless of who the promoter is (even some outta' state shows too) in threads since I've been on this forum since 2010. It's almost like as it's his duty to do so and most on here that frequent this "gun show" subforum have come to almost expect this from lee2 as there have been jokes made in the past about it.

There was an issue that came up between the Timonium gun show promoter and a vendor last month shortly (a few days) before the York PA show that ultimately wasn't in the best interest of the show "attendees" (the general public/potential buyers) that lee2 has made reference to, though not in an outwardly manner in this thread. If you'd like to find out what it is, you can go into the December 2014 York PA gun show thread and it's clearly indicated there. That's why lee2 posted something in his OP about "no negativity" in this thread as it was discussed in the York PA thread.

Why would an event planner not want as many vendors as they can get?

There will be at least three ammo dealers at the Frederick Silverado gun show in just 2 weeks. I can personally guarantee that there will be no collusion, price fixing, or other scurrilous ******** going on. This will be a true “every man for himself” bang em up hardcore free for all gun show where competition is WELCOME. Anyone that says or thinks otherwise is poorly informed. Frank at Silverado has never in my many years of association tolerated any amount of the protectionist ******** that you WILL see from SOME of the other wannabe promoters towards their pet ammo dealers. If you have any doubts, show up at Frederick and check out the bruises. Bring it on. Hope to see you all there, your friend and mine, Dan

Make sure you are at the right building before buying a ticket at Timonium. Otherwise you will be buying a ticket to the "Dinosaur Show", which is in the other building this weekend.

Might be a great day for "family outing" though. Mom takes the little ones to the Dinosaur Fest while you peruse the gun n' ammo...

Wouldn't it be great if they had something like a "Velociraptor Action Shoot"?

LOL! Last time the dino show was there I had fun watching all the surprised parents come into the gun show building with their kids in tow, turn right around, and hurry over to the dino building.

Redcobra · Jan 9, 2015

I'd go if they had some decent shotguns. Or shotgun ammo.
I'd love to be able to go and purchase 20 flats of target shells for a decent price.
Or to fondle and maybe purchase a few higher end shotguns.
Every show I have been to ignores this market.
That's why I quit going to shows.
