How do their parking lots look? Parking is horrendous at the best of times. With all the snow and spaces taken up by plowed mounds of snow. . .I'm thinking it will be a nightmare.

Son of a....! This is the third weekend in a row I won't be able to come home because of the snow. :banghead:

LOL.

I'll probably be there Friday & Saturday.

I'll see how the parking lots look later. I always go driving around there in the middle of Blizzards. :D

Easily solved...arrive one hour early.

Normally I'd tell you to park on the street or in the lot behind the field, but those are probably blocked with snow.

See http://www.dullesexpo.com/contact/index.htm
You think those folks might be stressed?

Whatever the lot looks like now is not a good indication of what it will look like when Snowmageddon II is done dumping on us.

Somebody should check at some point.
I know I don't want to be in that lot if it is unplowed.

Friday? pfft. The past three shows the line's usually around the side of the expo center and down around the shopping center TWO hours before the show's supposed to open.

I'm considering ordering some 10mm ammo to try and was wondering if it in stock and can it be delivered to the Chantilly, VA gunshow this weekend (2/12-2/14).

Thanks,
Marco

Odd....I've driven through that paring lot a dozen times and I've never heard theme music :)

Think you can ride over to the Comfort Suites on Metrotech Drive and shoot some video? That's where I'll be teaching this weekend and I want to see if its been plowed yet! :)

Can anyone do me a favor and price check these at Trader Jerry's table, or any table that has them? Ain't gonna make it to a gun show 'til the one in Doswell.

Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag with a 4 inch barrel
Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull (2.5 inch barrel) - doubt they'll have this one
