    The Nation's Gun Show at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia is definitely worth the drive :thumbsup:. It's a huge show and a lot of people go there so prepare to stand in line to get in or to look at certain tables.
    It takes me over 2 hrs. to walk through the whole show.

    Yep, that's about the best gun show. I've never come home empty handed from a Dulles show. you'll find a much better variety of stuff there also, since they aren't bound by the same opressive regulations as shows here in marylandistan. When ya leave, don't forget to check out the H@@ters restaurant right there attached to the same parking lot. Just as many nice things to see there as there was at the show you just left.

    Can you concealed carry at these shows? Might be a good spot to break in my FLA permit around gun-friendly people

    i think you get ziptie thru the action, so it's kinda pointless. They ask as you come in the door "any firearms?", and there's always cops walking around at the big ones (and I'm always like :envy: "these guys are getting PAID to be here" lol).
