Posted: 12/27/2012 2:54:51 PM EDT
| So I've been going to this show for about 10years and its been bad around election time. But I've never been there when a ban might be coming. I'm wondering on selection and how the gouging is gonna go. Also worried about volume of people Sane and insane there. Should be interesting and a learning experience. Lol |

Looks like there are going to be protestors there, same crowd that interrupted the NRA speech. Serious? Christmas comes twice this year, boys. Looks like I'll be rolling in with the minority posse... I get the feeling that those pasty commie types really don't like seeing brown folks that are armed. |
|
I'm thinking of heading over there too since I'm only a couple miles away. Question for you guys - do the dealers there take trades? I'm interested in getting a shotgun and maybe another pistol, and was hoping to use an extra RRA rifle as a trade. The couple times I have been there it seemed like most of the sellers dealt in new stuff only. |

And you, Sir, just won a free seat in the Concealed Carry for Self Defense course of your choice. (Ammo not included :) Go to www.fpftraining.com and register when you're ready. |

In this weeks market probably much less. I am only a few miles away in Herndon myself. May go over tomorrow . |
| Myself and two buddy's are going today. Gonna be there early. One is looking for a AR, one is going for ammo, and me well it's if I find a deal or something I want. But otherwise it's to help educate my buddy whose is looking for his first AR. I REALLY HOPE Those tree hugging, nothing better to do then bi$&/ protestors don't start with me as I have a super short leash on my patience for ignorant people who assume they know thing yet don't care to get the fact first. We shall see. |

If I went I'd be carrying a bag of slightly used GI mags just to see what ridiculous prices people pay. I've got enough PMAGs now I don't really need the GI ones anymore. I have a parts mutt AR I'm going to bring and see if I can get a stupid price for it. |

Do you know if any of the dealers out there can do FFL transfers on the spot? Maybe a dumb question... I would rather go through an FFL for the transfer than a private sale. |

If the person buying the AR is shady, then don't sell it to them. Its YOUR private property, to do with as YOU please. |
| Considering there's supposed to be a mix of snow and rain tomrrow, I'm betting the Code Pink crowd will be small and short lived - just long enough to get on TV if they decide to show. I don't think that'll reduce the buyers though - I'm betting by the time I'm working on Sunday the black guns and mags will be mostly cleared out. |

I wish I could go buy my fiance's is on bed rest and I am the goffer. She has follow up surgery on Satureday. Then she can go back to busting protestors up on the Hill.
If there are any large rifle primers I could use some if they are not too crazy priced. torzoi |

All tickets sold out. All tickets sold out for today? So no one else is getting in? Would I be correct in assuming that I should get there around 7:30AM tomorrow if I don't want to be the 900th person in line? You better camp out tonight. |

And you, Sir, just won a free seat in the Concealed Carry for Self Defense course of your choice. (Ammo not included :) Go to www.fpftraining.com and register when you're ready. Thanks! I'll gladly take you up on your offer if I pull the posse together and get to confront the Code Pinkos. So far we tentatively have a Filipino and a Puerto Rican... waiting to hear from a Vietnamese and a redneck to make our posse complete. 
ETA: Crap. I just read the other thread. So the Code Pink idiots are only protesting this afternoon?

I drove by and kept on going. Hit Arbys and left.
No parking anywhere in that complex including the fast food joints. I saw people parking near Hobby Hangar which is back near rt 50. 
I have 30 (20 round USGI mags) I was going to sell but I'll instead throw them up on gunbroker or something. I don't need them and I might as well get rid of them while the market dictates. I'll try to go Sunday just to talk to a few dealers, WAR and Arsenal Attorneys. |

While I was there some guy came out in a C+E gun shows jacket, talked to the cops, and then the cops went to talk to what appeared to be the head protestor. Not sure if they were being kicked out or not. |
