Silverado Gun Show 7/21-22/07

sbarber7973 · Jul 20, 2007

Any one here going to be at the Gun show this weekend in Upper Marlboro? I will be there on Saturday.

novus collectus · Jul 20, 2007

I'm planning on it, but it all depends on my friends and if they want to go.
Actually, I'd much rather go to the Dulles show the weekend after, but I want to turn some of the locals/friends on to the idea of gun ownership and Upper Marlboro is close and convenient.

I may be there on Sat. or Sun. morning.

How is the Dulles show I have never went to that one.

novus collectus · Jul 20, 2007

I've never been either, but sooooo many people have raved about how the Silverado show in U. Marlboro doesn't even compare that I know it is the place I want to be.

No comparison.

To give you a visual example:

Silverado Show = Food Lion
Dulles = Wegman's

Much better selection at Dulles.....take the day off and go the first day...Friday PM..well worth it.

I found an M14 Parts Kit for 8 bills earlier this year and the barrel measured a TE of 0

Let's put it this way.....you could fit three Giants inside of a Wegmans.

wegmans is gods gift to mankind in grocery store form... its like whole foods without the 25% markup, their meat section is huge, as is their cheese section.

There is one just down the street from the NRA range.

Why don't they put some in MoCo?

MoCo has a law against "big box" stores... PG and Fredrick are getting them

Per Wegman's official communication, they can't find a suitable location. However, the real reason like Hochi said is that MoCo has a law that makes the permit process for any store that sells groceries over x number of feet with x number of employees almost impossible to get. The law in practice only affects Wegmans, Target and Walmart. It was heavily lobbied for by Giant, Safeway and Food Lion.

As a Buffalo native, it's really upsetting. Wegmans is an amazing grocery store and a really good employer, as well as a link to home.

+1 for Dulles very good selection could spend all day and all my money there.

How much is the entrance fee? I think I'm gonna try to go

(need some AR mags, and possibly 5.56 AK mags if they got 'em).

You know, now I do remember going to a Wegman's once in Buffalo. I went with a friend to visit her friend while at college a few years back. It did seem big, but I dunno, maybe I just wasn't paying attention to the quality of the products, since I had no money to buy anything anyway!

Buffalo grocery stores are huge....the land is so cheap that we ended up with two really good chains and average store square footage on par with large Walmarts. Not much else going on there but we did get great grocery stores!

To actually contribute, I think Hochi and I are going to go to the Dulles show.
