Gun Show This Weekend

[Charlie686]

For those interested there is a gun show at the Howard County Fair Grounds In Howard Co. Maryland this Sat. & Sun. It's a "Silverado" show .

I'd love to go and I'm sure my friends out here would like to join you too, but it's 3,000 miles away.
It's a bit far away to make a gun deal that would still require an FFL dealer.
We truly appreciate the invite though.

Have a great weekend, post some pictures of what you bring home too, unless it's jerky or Jam!

Regards,

Thanks Charlie, too long of a drive for me, but I'm curious about Maryland gun laws (I have neices living there), what do you go through to buy at a show? Are long guns and handguns dealt with differently? Do you have a Concealed Weapons Permit clause or does everyone have to go through an 'instant' background check? Can private individuals simply buy/sell guns between themselves? Just curious. Oh yeah, the most important question; how much does Beef Jerkey cost and how is the quality?

If you go to Maryland.gov you should get all the info you need or Maryland State Police web site. Getting a CCP in Md is imposible and as far as I know we don't have a clause. As far as I know background checks are required on every purchase short or long. There is also a waiting period but it been so long since I've been able to purchase anything I'm not up on all the ins and outs as of today. The last purchase I made at a Md. show was a Mini-14 in 1995 ans I took it home from the show. I think the waiting period on handguns is 7 days. If you have an FFL I would imagine you could transfer the same day dealer to dealer.
Jerky has a load of sugar in it for the most part and being diabetic I stay away from it. If you like I'll send you a wee bit to try. Private individuals can buy and sell between themselves but the proper paperwork showing the sale or transfer between owners needs to be filed with the S.P. or I think it's considered a crime...go figure
