How do the gun shows work? Are they like online retailers are they local good dealers?

The Maryland shows are mostly MD dealers, with a few exceptions. Some (like Precision Firearms) come from neighboring states.

If you're purchasing a handgun, you'll do your initial paperwork at the show and pick up at the dealer 7 days later. If it's a long gun you'll do the paperwork at the show, the dealer will do a NICS check, and hopefully you won't be delayed and you can leave with your purchase.

Or you use it as a way to kick the tires so to speak on a potential purchase, and go home with some jerky.

 

[Raineman]

I'll be going after work Saturday to try to find some mags.

 

[Mr H]

The Missus and I will likely be going midday Saturday. Hopefully to find her a new CC purse.

May swing by just to watch the passing parade of life.

Ya never know. Someone may have what you want, and then its worth your while. The HoCo show is not a large one. Gettysburg show is bigger, and Nations gun show in Chantilly is even bigger. Since you've not been to one before, my $0.02 is go and enjoy what's there, just don't expect too much.

Your profile says White Marsh... have you been to a Timonium show? Howard County is usually about the same size.

Yes, that’s the only one I’ve been to. Been wanting tk go to one of the PA or VA ones just haven’t made it yet. I may stop by this weekend, I appreciate it.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I’ll probably go check it out.

Come and see us at the show! We are right at the front when you come in, we're doing some cool package deals this weekend and as always make sure to check out our ammo prices!

Is there a better time to show up, 9:00 midday?

Stopped in, but had to cut it short for a family situation.

Good to talk to folks.

Not a huge show, but decent variety and fairly well-attended according to the promoter.

 

[[Kev308]]

I might go by tomorrow, any other feed back?

Ammo prices still stupid?

 

[IronEye]

I saw some imported 9mm for less than $300 per case of 1000. Not bad.
Some 500 S&W for $99 per 20.

Just left. Typical size for HoCo, all the usual vendors are here. I saw overpriced ammo, and I also saw a few vendors with reasonable prices.

As usual compare prices with South Carroll before buying elsewhere, odds are if they have it, they have a better price on it.
