    Default Lycoming Mall Gun show Oct 2-3rd 2021

    9 to 5 Saturday
    9 to 4 Sunday
    $7 to gain entry
    Billed as 200 tables
    300 Lycoming Mall Circle
    Pennsdale Pa 17756

    Put on by .... Bear Arms promotions?????

    Bloomsburg Fair grounds "Eagle Arms" is end of Oct. 30-31st.

    Between the old Pennsddale VFD and the who knows what Hughesville VFD gun shows , this area has always kept it interesting.

    Anyhow , any idea on this show?
    Assume it's the first one and who is Bear Arms Promotions?

    I'm in regardless.

    Never heard of Bear Arms promotion. Definitely the first show I've ever heard of there. I'm close enough, I'll probably check it out though.

    I don't know if it'll be enforced, but the Lycoming Mall was a gun free zone. They had very few signs on the doors, but if you looked up their rules, it specifically says no firearms.

    No matter how bad it is, at least it won't be unbearable.

    Last time I was there it look like a Zombie apocalypse. Many empty store fronts.

    As I understand it, Bear Arms is FFL Charles "Tioga Chuck" Barber, who should be known to many central and eastern PA showgoers.

    Yes it is indeed the Barbers who are running this show. Chris's GF, Allie, used to do admin for the Eagle Arms shows so I suspect she has a fairly good handle on how to run a GS.

    I wish them the best of success. Not sure if I'm doing that show as of yet. I have to check some scheduling and staffing for that weekend.

    The mall is pretty dead anymore. There's stores surrounding the mall and a few still open in it, but most of the big "anchor" type stores are all gone.

    You'll have to let me know if you're going to be in the area for it. I'm only about 20 minutes away.

    Bumping this up a bit with a report. I spoke with the organizers last week and it seems the show is filling nicely. We (Highland Arms) will be there, but alas I will not be able to make it personally as I have a prior commitment. However Mrs. SG and my lovely daughter have volunteered to do the show in my stead.
