I come in off of Timonium Rd and park on the back lot.
I also tend to show up around 11 on Saturday, so it's easy entry, and pretty free flowing in the aisles.
That works perfectly for me. Thanks.

A waste of time. I only live 4 miles away and will not go back. It's PA. shows for me from now on.
Funny you should mention that. I was on another forum and the guys from PA were trashing the last Oaks show. They were upset with the prices, the selection and the jerky/socks vendors. Some said they were never going back.
I guess it's all up to your perspective.
I'd kill to have an Oaks quality show and they're tired of it and some said they wouldn't be back.
We're talking 2000 tables with maybe 50 not set up on Friday, add another 100-120 for non-firearm related vendors. I'll take the Oaks show any day!
I'm a 45yo from Harrisburg PA. To me, a gun show was the early 1990's Harrisburg shows at The Farm Show Complex. 1200-1500 tables of GUN stuff and crate after crate of sub $100 surplus rifles. This took place 2x annually.
Gun shows in general don't do it for me anymore. Now the museum for sale in Timonium each spring- that is still jaw dropping to me. Out of my price range, but jaw dropping nonetheless.
Gun shows used to be a place to find deals. Sadly those are few and far between these days. Most of those who did the gun show circuit didn't have storefronts and so the savings from lack of overhead was passed on to the consumer. I've gone to shows recently where guns were at MSRP or higher, which is their perogative but I can't see them moving anything.
Trying to decide if this is worth a trip...especially when I am not looking for anything specific

I was there at about 9:05,had 2 extra dollar off coupons for friends that could not make it. I gave one to a guy heading in and waited for a person wearing clothing of being a veteran and using a walker heading to bldg. A voice with a attitude and challenging tone told me not to be handing out coupons. I told him that I had a couple for friends who did not make it as I handed one to the old veteran. He asked for my last one and I said no that was mine. He said then go inside and I headed for door and said I would check out his lousy show or something along those lines. He said don't bother going then I could just leave which I did. I then returned and asked for his name which he refused and said he would call police if I did not leave. Sorry for being so winded but I will not be attending any shows these people are involved with.
