Greater Philadelphia Gun & Knife show

I am going to go one more time to see this show .
I hope this time they have better traffic control it was a mess last time with the train show there . And this time I hope they have signs up .
But if the state PD have 422 oak's exit closed again it will be the last one .

They couldnt do much about last time. Nobody expected the attendance that arrived for the train show. Apparently a LOT of people have been clamoring for a train show for a long time and when it finally got scheduled people came from far and wide.

The real trouble came from the fact that kids were admitted free - so it became a family outing too. Should not be a problem this time.

I really like the layout of this show vs the VF Convention Center show. Aisles are nice and wide - the VF show is very frustrating. If anyone stops to look at merchandise at a table, people cant get by - you can only fit two abreast in those cramped aisles.

Hope to see you guys there!

Do yourself a favor and look up the address on Mapquest. Then look at the map for a second. Figure out whatever you have to do to get there with out getting on Egypt road from 422. Actually, just avoid egypt road all together.

It can be done and you will have a better day because of it. Take my word for it.

Would the traffic really be that bad?

HAHAHA, last time there was a train show the same day so I am sure that had something to do with it. But I got there early and there was a only a small amount of traffic. When I left, Egypt road was solid bumper to bumper from the parking lot all the way to norristown. No bullshit.
