    As far as Maryland goes, it's probably the largest. But that's not saying too much.

    Not that one, it's banned. I mean Aloha Snackbar.:D:lol2:

    Hoping to attend, as I don't think I'll be making my way down to Chantilly this weekend. How big is the Timonium Show next to others in the Maryland area?

    It's rather large, prolly the largest but the "largeness" is filled out with, well, um, junk tables. There's alotta' guns and gun stuff there but most of the people complain of the larger than normal junk stuff there compared to other shows in the state. People are expecting 600 tables, or very close to that number, of nothing but guns and gun accessories. If that's what they expect, they'll be disappointed every time.

    its like a flea market with guns mixed in. you can drive an suv down the isles.
    since beany babies went out of style, we have filled these spaces with chinese knife dealers and knockoff magpull stuff designed for airsoft guns that they tell you is gtg on an .556. the only gun powder is twice the price and not what you wanted anyway.
    most stuff is way over priced and can easily be bested by the guys who sell on the interwebs.
    did i miss anything?;)
    welcome to maryland.:party29:
    hope to see you at the show.:)

    It is not quite that bad but bargains are few and far between. I bought an interesting Enfield there a few years ago and I go because it is so close. Owe'Malley is to blame for a lot of this, but so are those of us that do not support Maryland dealers. I'll step off my soap box now.

    I will be at the show sometime after it opens on Saturday. I will be wearing a RMGO.ORG I WILL NOT COMPLY black t-shirt. Look for the guy with the disgusted look on his face and probably nothing in his arms.

    They won't give out prices prior to the show. We went through this before one of the other local shows.

    No, I'm not from Colorado. I supported their cause a year or so ago with a donation and they were nice enough to send me a shirt. Black shirt with BIG white letters that say, I WIL NOT COMPLY on the front.

    I get more comments on this shirt than any other that I wear.

    Was going to go for some powder and primers. What's a reasonable price to pay? Maybe also very some gun cleaning stuff. Grab some jerky. Sharpen a knife and just drool at some of the higher end stuff. Maybe a C&R purchase.

    I hope all you early birds standing in line to get in on Saturday morning will take a moment or two to talk with Tim Robinson, the candidate for State Senate in District 42. He is running against Jim Brochin, the snake who stabbed us in the back on SB281.

    I'm headed down. It's suppose to rain Saturday and will give me a chance to eyeball some firearms that I haven't seen before. Unless there is a Delaware FFL there, probably won't purchase.

    I would definitely pick the Oaks show over Timonium.

    Just about every category of evaluation is better in my opinion. The road trip up to King of Prussia is fun, there is actually a lot of open space to walk the tables and not feel like a sardine, having to endure people's unique pharmones. Lots of reloading stuff, standard capacity mags. Lots of bulk ammo sellers to barter with.
