CCW at Dulles Expo

I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I know during gun shows it's not allowed, or they put a ziptie through your action. What about during non gun show events? I know if you carry correctly then no one should know, but I'd like to know what their "official" rule is for CCW

don't recall seeing any "no guns" signs posted there.

Did you look on the Dulles Expo Center website? If they don't specify you can always contact them for an answer.

Yeah I checked and couldn't find the info, unless I just missed it.

While I advocate breaking NO laws, if I had a permit, I would carry in a Post Office, regardless of signs and penalties.

I would advocate to not carry where prohibited by law .

I looked at the exhibitor rules as well and the only thing I see is no black powder.

not sure we should be doing that. a light will go off in their head, oh yeah, we should post a sign...

Signs have no force of law in VA.

Just saying. Not advocating breaking any law. Carrying in a posted venue in VA is not a statutory violation.

Not leaving if discovered and told to leave would be.

Even with a permit can’t even park your car with a gun in it on USPS property. In VA I always park next door if I have to go in.

Better option is UPS or FedEx.

The penalties would not be worth it.

Pretty sure for insurance reasons the official rule is zip tie or no gun.

With that being said. Do whatever but just know if they see it and have an issue they will simply ask you to leave.

To ask permission is to seek denial.

I recently (I think it was a month ago) went to the RV show there. I scoured the website and couldn't find anything, and there were no signs posted. So, at minimum I think you are legal (maybe if the gun showed they might ask you to leave, but I can't see there being any legal trouble).

swinokur · Mar 25, 2018

If you leave if asked, no law has been broken.

Exactly! They certainly don't publicize any restrictions. So, do what I did at the RV show: carry concealed (I assume you have a permit that VA accepts or a VA permit and aren't planning OC) and if they see it and ask you to leave, be prepared to accept their request and leave politely.
