This is what happens when the sellers dont lower prices and in most cases raise the prices…. There are no “Deals” to be had in Maryland gun shows.
They better figure out how to make this better because it’s gone down hill fast over the years. I’m not sure if the last show was Eagle sponsered or not but it was horrible, one building barely anything of good quality. Hell I couldn’t even find .380 ammo over 95gr. Let along any good gun accessories for pistols, quality cases etc.
About 60% firearms/ammo and 40% knife bins, roasted peanuts, dream catchers, apparel, and military memorabilia.
Don’t waste your time! We could have held this venue in my basement it was so small. Didn’t find any deals on ammunition, any accessories and definitely no firearms worth taking the time to drive out here for.
Sorry to be so negative. However, when you charge $8 for admission there should be something to look at.
Great venue
