Can You Buy Guns at the Upcoming Harrisburg Sportsman's Show ?
Or Is this Policy still in effect ?
Buying Guns at the Sportsmans show.... Not So Fast.......... A few weeks ago, NRA President David Keene announced the NRA was thrilled to be the new promoter under the long-term agreement they’ve reached with area officials. Apparently, the organization has been looking to do a large outdoor show for some time and this presented the best chance.
Because of the controversy and politics surrounding the group in its political fights over gun rights and gun control, it was feared by some there might be a backlash about the NRA being the show’s promoter. Although all legal firearms will be permitted to be displayed at the show, attendees will not be able to purchase one there, which has been typical policy at the show over the years. When asked about possible recoil from some show attendees, local officials dismissed these concerns as insignificant. Let’s hope so.
Keene pointed out the boycott by vendors other than gun shops demonstrated the solidarity among the outdoor community for firearms to have their place at outdoor shows, and he vowed that all legal weapons would be allowed at future shows. According to Keene, the NRA plans on investing millions of dollars in an effort to expand the new show to include venues and events in midstate communities as well as in the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center.http://www.outdoornews.com/May-2013/...turns-in-2014/

Any and all guns will be shown and on display but like previous events and all NRA shows, they have never sold guns. It is a sportsman show, just like SHOT that was held in Vegas.

Re: Can You Buy Guns at the Upcoming Harrisburg Sportsman's Show ?
I have been to this show and to the Pittsburgh NRA convention a few years ago. I didn't worry about buying guns there. It is too look and and ask questions. I also noticed that the display guns were non-functional. Firing pin holes blocked, magazines were locked in or non-functional.
There are enough buy and sell gun shows around to suit your fancy almost any weekend.

Its a good show because there is no pressure to buy, not wasting the sellers time by just looking so more likely to your questions answered honestly.
I am going to look for info on the hog hunts in the different states. The heli hunts look like fun but I guess cost way more.
