Howard Co. It is closer to me and more centrally located in the state.
Maryland shows don't have anything for me anymore. No standard mags, little if any powder/primers probably due to Fire Marshal regs., no Skip to talk to 
.
.
HOCO.
I like the folks that run it. No BS. No stupid signs that say 'no guns allowed'; it's a gun show... geeezzzz!
Also like that every show at noon, they make an announcement and point out the American flag and pledge to the Union. Often the guy running the place says something like - if you don't respect us or want to take a knee - GTFO! (Get The F** Out!). Makes my heart warm, every time.
The HOCO show has become our favorite in the region, not just a good selection of everything, but solid American values, represents the best of us.
Notice there are no mass shootings where there are a lot of law abiding citizens and guns. Just an observation.

Go to the Bel Air show on Friday evening and hit the Howard County show on Saturday or Sunday.

HoCo as it's 10 minutes from where I live.
If we ignore our local gun shows they will go away.

I'm opposite of you, Bel Air is 10 minutes from my house, but I will be making both shows this weekend.

5th choice: Depends on which show has the best beef jerky.

Sad, but I doubt there will be any sugar coated almonds at the Bel Air show.

Seriously, are you new here? The correct answer is both. You can go to the Bel Air show on Friday and The Howard county show on Saturday. That's what I plan to do oh, and the big hunting show in Harrisburg on Sunday. Gosh, I have a full schedule this weekend

Peace through strength
HoCo - I like the show, is closer than Fredrock (same promoter), and always manage to buy something. Support your local show, even if its to contribute to the HQL lawsuit.
That's my plan, too
. What do you think parking is going to be like in Bel Air Friday?

The Bel Air show doesn't start until 5pm on Friday. So don't get there too early. Parking can be a pain sometimes. Getting there when the doors open, you have to contend with the regular Bel Air business crowd AND the added gun show crowd. So depending on a lot of factors, parking can be iffy on Friday As for the rest of the weekend, parking can be pretty tough. Don't park in a no parking zone or on the grass. The show may cost you a little more than you think.
See you there Friday!
