They will be moving near the corner of 355 and Redland Rd. Or about 2 miles from my house.
So that is for sure where they are going? When is the grand Re-opening?
Derwood's getting on the map!
Oh cool. Where in DC was that?First location was in downtown DC! Looking forward to seeing the new place.
****Derwood has been on the map for some time!!!
They had a McDonalds, a Wendy's AND an Erols video store within a few hundred feet of each other! This was before King Farm was built, and before I had nightmares literally every two years trying to get my hot rodded newer cars to pass emissions inspection at the Derwood circle VEIP dyno test....
I remember having to take apart my exhaust to install TWO catalytic convertors, as I had dual exhaust, and to dump dry gas into the tank, warmer plugs, and tune the carb so lean the car would barely run. I had welded shut the EGR ports on the heads but left the valve on the manifold in case they did a visual inspection. The big duration cam did not help things, nor did having no functioning air pump that the car originally had from the factory...
Good times... I brought a mini tubbed out, shoe horned big block Chevy Malibu (a 396!!!, big valve heads!) that was titled as a 1980 Chevy Malibu to that station and it had a strip transmission that would just BANG gears and remember the poor lady doing the dyno test not understanding why the rolller would slip every gear change.... Somehow, by the grace of God it passed emissions! And, the lady didn't seem to notice that the little Malibu had a Big Block Chevy motor in it with Dart aluminum heads and Hooker Headers....
Derwood. There wasn't much there back in the late 80's. Now, with Atlantic Guns moving in, I wonder how the King Farm people, full of upper middle class liberals will deal once they see a GUN store selling GUNS across the street from little bitty children....
The shop will probably be left alone, the Rockville shop isn't far from there, so I cannot see anyone caring at all really.
I guarantee that a whole lot of mid-county residents who have NO IDEA that Atlantic is currently secreted away in a strip mall tucked away out of sight off the pike will be shocked, SHOCKED when that shiny new sign and storefront directly faces a very busy hunk of 355. You can bet Moms Demanding Outrage will suddenly awaken to this new existential threat. I sure hope Atlantic sends up a flare if they ever need any public voices of support, some social media level headedness chiming in, etc. Cuz, there will be a ripple of OMG-ness among the snowflakes, as there always is.
I recall the high-end gun shop that tried to open in Bethesda some years back. Basically got run out of town by activist Mommy types. And that was a tweed-and-double-gun kind of operation! Wishing Atlantic the very brightest future and peace in the kingdom. Can’t wait to see the new joint.

Found it! The original Atlantic Guns was on 14th St NW. The glass display case is still there.
