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.

And if we dont have it we may be able to get it for you!...LOL Thanks Bullfrog

Anyone there have the “hidden in plain sight” type furniture?

I’ve never been to a gun show before so this might be a dumb question. Can you have your concealed firearm on you provided you have a ccw permit? Since I’ve been able to, I carry everywhere and I would hate to leave it in the car. If concealed carry is not allowed, I would probably just leave it at home.

MOST gun shows post signs prohibiting loaded firearms in the show premises. I believe the promoter of this show posts such signage. Keeps the insurance company happy and cuts down on "oppsies" with people whipping it out to check holster fit or something equally dumb. Usually a guy at or near the entrance of the show asking about loaded firearms.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I think I should be able to make it from Westminster to the West Friendship safely without any hardware. It’s the ride back that will get me.

Sign at the front door stating no loaded firearms, CCW or not.

I may slip down there tomorrow and see if the ammo prices are better than what some I can get online with the sellers who are offering free shipping now. There is no such thing as having too much ammo.

Prices were on the high side

Guess that depends on if you tell the wife about buying more guns.

I don't carry into gun shows. Both because most promotors prohibit and because several I have spoken to have security in place. Usually plainclothes. I don't want to be the unknown MWAG if anything happens as that would likely make me a default target.

Thanks for the tip, nuxbag. I'll probably just do what a man is supposed to do on a Sunday in the Fall, sit on my butt and watch football all day.

The show wasn't too bad. Ammo prices were decent for the new normal. Gun prices weren't that great. I saw 4 Ruger 10/22's for $450+. Nothing special about them. Most guns were overpriced by at least $75-$150 of models that I know of.

I’ve been wanting a Henry stainless all weather side gate 357. I’ve expected to pay full retail , around $1200, if I ever found one. Saw one there yesterday for 2K. No thanks.

From what I see, most sellers at shows are gougers,, I am loosely looking at a marlin 45-70,, LGS had/has the Marlin S.S. trapper - $1250,,, Saw about 6-8 of them at the last "Nations show" they ranged from $1800 - 2200
