As usual, the antis are throwing a fit about it. no surprise.

I went to their McLean location yesterday for the first time. J.B. and Rachel are awesome to deal with. I didnt buy much, just an M1A mag, but I spent over 30 mins chatting with them to include their new location. Glad to hear that they are expanding. Especially in the blue part of VA.

With little recourse in gun-friendly Va., Arlington resists store opening

There's nothing like unbiased journalism.

It's the Washington Fish Wrap.

Mark Levin calls it the Washington Com Post

totally in character for them.

“Kids walk past it to the 7-Eleven all the time,” said Christina Friedli

And the antis call us paranoid. Really like what is going to happen.

Coffee shop or a ballon store....lol

I was at the current McLean location chatting with JB on Wednesday. The liberal butthurt is worse than the article suggests. JB I a great guy.

A quick jaunt over the Woodrow Wilson bridge!

That was a very fair article. It had the antis coming off a bit daft. Preferring a balloon store and equating a gun shop to a porn shop.

Meanwhile the owner of the gun shop came across as calm and professional. (As I'm sure he is).

Score one for us :thumbsup:

Good for them. I will be just down the road from them on Wednesday, so I will stop in maybe spend some money.

Pretoria78 · May 25, 2015

I'll have to give em some business. Right down the road from me.

I wish the county atty just said: 'Arlington county is open for business and any lawful company is welcome to open up an operation.' instead of implying that the county would want to do something against the store.

He is most likely a liberal in liberal land.

Apparently the "Inside the Beltway" zone doesn't know state boundaries.

Diane Warin, a resident who lives along nearby Military Road, said Friday that she had been unaware of the pending change but is “very much” against it.

“I come here all the time for the shops — Company Flowers, Portabellos,” Warin said as she headed for her car. “This is a community with a lot of families. I would not be in favor of it at all.”

So in other words, it's ok for an FFL to open, just not where there are any people. :rolleyes:

It's called NIMBY

Not in my back yard.

Engine4 · May 26, 2015

I sure hope the landlord doesn't go back on his contract. I will be visiting them when they open just to show my support.

I can't help but pull a few excerpts from the article, and add some "commentary":

Residents … say a gun shop is simply not appropriate … where businesses such as a … hardware store…cater to the families living nearby. – Hardware stores used to be able to sell guns!

“This is in close proximity to schools and preschools.” – Good, kids will see the shop, be curious, ask questions, and maybe learn something.

Diane Warin, a resident who lives along nearby Military Road … is “very much” against it. – What road does she live on? Paying tribute to what? What profession do they practice?

“This is a community with a lot of families. I would not be in favor of it at all.” – Families can learn to shoot together. It's a great bonding experience, and useful life skill.

All knuckleheads!

swinokur · May 26, 2015

don't hardware stores sell knives and hammers? What about the kids?

:omg:

I wonder why they don't. Most independently owned hardware stores seem to be part of ACE or TruValue for the supply contracts. Got to wonder whether there is a restriction in the franchise agreements against ammunition sales and an on-site FFL in a ACE branded store.

No, Rockingham Co-op stores in VA carry firearms. They're ACE affiliated.
