    Seems like the Dulles (Nations) gun show has been cancelled by Ralphy for one excuse or another lately.
    Just heard will be housing the Afgan refugees at the Expo center,,,
    Anyone placing bets that they will be there Oct 1 in order to cancel the gun show??

    After a 2+ decade hiatus from gun shows, I was gonna attend "The Nations Show" at Dulles Oct 1-3,, to just browse and take it in.

    News reports are that the Dulles Expo is packed full of refugees,, hows that gonna work with the gun show?
    Only 3 weeks away.

    Well, at least we know they aren't voting for a second term for Biden, unlike all the voters he's importing at the southern border.

    Wellll, les see…
    A. Venue on outskirts of D.C.
    1 “Hapless refugees” (many essentially totally unvetted or unvettable.)
    3. “Murder Show” promoter.

    I don’t reckon if I could call that one.

    If I recall, the hot tub shows were not cancelled, somehow all the steam killed the Rona.
    Gut feeling is there is no way they are clearing them out in 3 weeks,, even if they do,, Rona 2 ya know,,
    Really hoping I am wrong,, was looking forward to it

    It will be cancelled. My client is in this area, my office is right across the street from the Expo Center. The tour buses are still parked/staged on Brookfield Corporate drive, my guess is that the drivers are staying at the Extended Stay and that they are on "Stand-by"

    Appears to be a long term event.

    The Kabob restaurant off Daly Drive, facing Willard, has recouped all of their losses due to covid 19. I guess that Uncle Sam and Grand Pa Joe are paying government surge prices for falafel and kabobs.

    Do the refugees have any bring backs to sell?

    On the Dulles Expo web page:
    Sept 18 Franchise show is now "TBD"
    Sept 25th Home show is "Postponed"

    Not holding out any hope for the following weekend

    ****That sucks! It's normally a really good show and close enough to much of the MDS area where it's not too far a drive to be able to find standard cap mags, and a bunch of other stuff maybe not as available at our local gun stores. Some of the clothing is pretty cool, and I've bought some cool and kind of odd gear there over the years.

    Also, just taking friends just getting into guns to a place full of firearm aficionados outside of MoCo which is basically hostile to us.

    Really bummed about the Expo.

    How does the SGK guns shows compare to Nations gun shows?
    I have not been to a show in decades.

    They posted this on their FB page earlier this afternoon. Take it for what it's worth.
