Posted: 12/29/2012 7:14:07 PM [Last Edit: 12/29/2012 7:14:48 PM by Thatmanuhate] The gun show in Chantilly , VA yesterday was similar to that, except there was 2 lines wrapped around both sides of the convention center (huge building) all the way to the back. Interestingly enough even with both these massive lines there was still 8 or so Code pink women and 2 men with them dressed in BDUs (I guess trying to up their credibility) hollering for an assault weapon ban. We laughed at them. The car line trying to get to the show was backed up roughly a mile or so back out onto the highway , and nearby lots where impounding cars left and right. It was pretty crazy considering it was 2pm on a Friday and last time i went at exactly the same time and there was no line at all. The cheapest I saw Pmags for was 40$. Sadly I don't have any pics but I thought I'd share anyway , hopefully someone else does.

I noticed most had this glazed over look on their face. They were there to buy ARs and the like but suddenly were faced with the reality prices had outstripped their means. They wandered around from table to table looking for something they could afford. Many you could tell by speaking with them, they knew nothing about guns but wanted an AR.... BUT deals were there, had a friend get 5 Colt 20 round mags at a great price. There were a couple great deals I passed on for tree guns.........
