No airports in DC, so you're good in that regard.
DCA or IAD... DCA is in Arlington itself, so it'll be closest. Several trans options to get to from/to IAD. |

Quoted:
What is the best airport to fly into near Arlington, VA? Take into account I am bringing a handgun, so anywhere in D.C. is out of the picture. As a proponent of the 'forewarned is forearmed' school of thought, this merits a read: < - Click Me, I'm a Link - > If you travel from Reagan National Airport (DCA) to points east (like Alexandria) or south (like Springfield) you're golden. If you travel from DCA to points west via the GW Parkway ... ... and the moon aligns with Jupiter and Mars, resulting in a breakdown of your taxi on the DC portion of the parkway ...
... and since the moon will have recently been a blood moon, the Park Police determine you are carrying in DC ... ... they will arrest you. And pepper you with every conceivable charge. The cost of arguing for the lawful nature of your travel under FOPA will be yours to bear. The costs of the lawyers and support staff trying to put you in jail for as long as is possible, will be happily (ETA, or otherwise) paid by DC taxpayers. |

Reagan is not IAD, it is DCA. Dulles is IAD... |

So Reagan/DCA is in Arlington, NOT Washington DC, and my TX CHL will be honored from the moment I collect my baggage?

But don't gun up right there in baggage claim - airport terminals are no-carry zones (although interpretations may vary by cop). Best to wait until you're off airport property. |

I don't normally carry my little CZ82 just because I have a Dan Wesson as my normal EDC. Anyone know where I can get some 9x18 Makarov for a decent price in the area? |
