Its one of my favorites. Always a big show but for some reason it seems to really vary from show to show. Some are MUCH bigger than others.

I always seem to find what I'm looking for at this show.

Generally well worth the time and effort to get there. I am marking my calendar relative to the date.

 

[ted76]

Well worth going to, lots of good stuff. I will be up Sat. or Sun.

15min away for me, and usually a decent show, beats most MD shows, and due to proximity, there are some MD dealers, and just about everyone is knowledgeable with MD law, and willing to help MD buyers purchase at the show, and transfer handguns via MD FFL. The big Harrisburg and Oaks shows are further, but usually have more stuff, and a few vendors the York show doesn't.

Great intel, very much appreciated...it will be my first one so I am really looking forward to attending...

Most??

Most??

was being kind

The one sore spot for the show is the general harassment to check firearms including CCW, the York show's door guy seems wound particularly too tight. Obviously concealed means concealed,(no force of law, and I carry anyway) and if it really bothered me I have the option to not go, The NRA outdoor show is the only one around that encourages lawful carry. Other gun shows have an area to check firearms being brought to the show, usually a polite "please check all loaded firearms here" on the way in, I understand you don't want idiots tossing loaded guns to potential buyers to finger, even get the insurance Nazi thing, but the jackass that stands out front of most York shows screaming at everyone is by far the worst.

Was just going to ask this question - I am from Maryland and I went to the one at Frederick Fairgrounds and found it rather... lackluster. There was some cool stuff, but didn't really seem "cool". If this one is worth it, I might come up for the day on the 25 to check it out.

Which is why the vendor entrance is sooooooo much better, there's a valet and a concierge, a man to help carry in your bags and everything.

God save me if I have to use the entrance of the proles.

I've been to at least one of the York shows a year for the past 5 years or so. Always a decent show IMO but there seems to be an increasing percentage of beef jerky, purses, and Chinese knives/samurai swords/airsoft guns.

What's wrong with eating beef jerky off the end of a Chinese knife?

Sure you're not talking about the Parkville show?

What really gets me is that it seems like I am buying said Chinese knife from the local al Qaeda affiliate

Yes yes I'm insensitive

So, York has a show once every 3 months. This summertime session was sparse last year. 2nd hall was barely half full. Still worth a drive if you've got nothing else better to do.

I am asking off work so me and my dad can go and buy some new toys

I think I am going to go this time, although I have sworn I would boycott them after abruptly cancelling the December show and not changing their website. I have a few items I may try to trade away.
