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.
May try tomorrow, anyone know if someone has AR uppers? Looking for a 300 BO 16" upper.
Oh... to answer RD's question more precisely...
67
I completely blanked on anything over a foot in length!!
I feel much better now.
I went this morning. Not that crowded. If you are looking for reloading supplies, there was a guy that had a couple tables of powder, primers, etc.
Prices were all over the place for stuff. Some new vendors thought they could rape people while folks like SCSG and a couple others had normal pricing.
There was a shop from Chestertown that had a BNIB Fde M9A3 for $699. They were on the far left wall as you walk in. If didn’t already have one, I would have grabbed it.
Didn’t have time to stop by the MSI table, but when I walked by, they were well engaged with folks.
I saw a M1 garand on a table that they guy wanted like $1500 for it. Ok I get some are worth more, this god awful thing had a polished lacquer finish. It was a travesty in my eyes.

Was the shop from Chestertown Molly's ?

Yes they were. They had a good deal on the Sig m17. I wanted it but promised I would come home gun free. But I got some .22 ammo from them.
You would have went home gun free. You would have to wait a week to get it.
Maryland Gun shows stopped being enjoyable for many reasons several years ago. Once I got my FFL03 it got even less enjoyable. If I were a dealer/retailer I'd have already left yhe state for business reasons. Say what you want about support but IMHO this state continues to inexorably move towards the California model of 2A rights refusal so I will seek out jurisdictions that show respect for my rights. I'm not going to 2 states for supplies when I can get everything I want, (except modern handguns which I haven't bought in 5 years) including a nice day trip to Hershey Park, the Battlefield or PA Dutch Country, by going to York or Gettysburg
FWIW, I attend the Bel Air show because of the Isaak Walton League
So they win. Nobody goes to the shows. So no more shows.
They win.
Thank you.
Who loses then? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but if I can go to a gun store and buy what's at the gun show, what am I actually losing? The days of getting maga deals at gun shows is over. With the advent of on line sales, I can get ANY used firearms I want, sent to my ffl.
I won't have to walk past old army surplus items, no white socks, no jerky, and best yet, I don't have to pay as much as $10 to go to the store.
I used to be a very big supporter of MD gun shows. But why now? I can make a call to John Lowe and I'll pay less there than just about any vendor at a gun show. He will also do private transfers, the best of both worlds.
I don't mean to diss the gun show folks, but the small shows in Maryland aren't what they once were. Mainly due to MD laws. The better vendors won't come into Maryland because many of their items can't be sold in Maryland or it's just too much of a hassle to have a MD trailer and an everywhere else trailer.
When Preston Jones ran the shows in the Baltimore area, it was a different time. Now it's like going to a flea market, not a gun show.
