Bloomsburg Gun Show

[Butt Shot]

This show is in a Mall???? Anyone know where the Columbia Mall is???

Desperately need large rifle bench rest primers, and a good set of 30mm high tactical rings. Will any reloader sellers, etc be there?

Isn't the Columbia Mall at the Buckhorn exit off I-80??? I haven't been down that way in awhile.

Yep, right off the exit. You can't miss it. It's the big building with a nearly empty parking lot and a bunch of empty stores! The mall's nearly dead, it's embarassing really.... but that leaves plenty of room for a gun show. I'd imagine it will be in the old Ames that closed down several years ago. That would make the most sense.

Max384 is right. Talked to promoter and it's right at I-80 & RT 42 easy to see, and easy to get to.

In the empty Ames store. Also said "plenty of light so you can see the guns, free parking, wide isles so no butt rubbing, and some local animal rescue group is doing the catering besides there's food at the mall.

Over 450 tables sold so far (capacity 850-900) with a bunch of new Dealers he's never heard of coming.

Wondering if from Allentown is the Turnpike to RT 80 much faster than RT309 > RT93 > RT80???

Damnit! I just checked my drill schedule and, of course, I have drill this weekend. Looks like I won't be there.

Turnpike to 80 may be faster, depending on traffic, weather, time of day, etc.

Personally, what I find to be the BEST drive, disregarding time, is to head over to Fogelsville, and take 100 N to Pleasant Corners, and grab 309 from there. Run 309 through Tamaqua, until you get to I-81 (McAdoo). Jump on 81 to bypass Hazleton, and get off at exit 145 (West Hazleton/RT 93). Run 93 N to 80 West.

It sounds more complicated than it is, but it's one of the least stressful routes.

I called the mall to ask, there is no gun policy. They told me that if it is legal then it is ok, OC or CC.

I've OC'd in the mall on a few occasions without any problems.

I am going to this one for sure, sorry you can't make it man I have been waiting for this show to come up.
