Hi….I’m a first time gun buyer or should I say I would like to start purchasing guns for home defense. ….what should I expect from the gun show. Do I need to do or bring anything with me?
First do some online research to get a clearer picture of what type of firearm you want for “home defense”, revolver, semi auto, shotgun or what? Who’s going to use it, are there kids in the house and what training do you and the family have? Take some training offered by the NRA and most good ranges (Ie Elite Shooting Sports in manassas). If you don’t want to invest time in getting trained and go to the range at least once a month Pepper spray might be a better alternative (you can buy it at the gunshow). If you do buy a firearm, buy a small gunsafe as well, its as important as the firearm for family safety.
You’ll need ID’s, plural to buy any firearm, virginia drivers licence and other forms of id. Cash or credit cards, most dealers don’t like AMEX and a clean background which will be checked against the data base by the seller.
Finally go to bluebook gun values online and check the market prices of the firearms you’re interested in. Visit several dealers to check prices on anything you’re interested in and don’t be shy about negotiating. It’s easy to end up paying more then MSRP if you haven’t done due diligence.
Good Luck
Where exactly is it in dale city?
Never mind the map popped up..my computer was just a little slow. Hey but if I go to the show with about $200-250 would I come back with something nice?
Yes .surprisingly there are deals to be had there .Just have to find them .. and a added bonus is . The food at this show is great being a vfw .. good luck finding a hidden treasure
Please be safe and DEFINITELY get training before handling a firearm, if you don’t have any training, you can seriously injure yourself and others
The person who lists the Dale City gun show on the Internet is careless and sloppy. They do not bother to check it to see if the date is accurate. For THREE TIMES I have gone to the Dale City Gun Show, only to find that It was the wrong date. I had checked the Internet just a day prior. I went on 3 Oct 2015, again to find that the show was on 12 Oct 2015., however, I can not find this date of 12 Oct 2015, fort the show anywhere on the Internet. SLOPPY, SLOPPY, UNPROFESSIONAL, SLOPPY, CARELESS, ETC, ETC. I am a Buyer, not a looker and spend money at gun shows.. The day before I spent $2,000 at the National Gun Show at Dulles.

Old Dominion Gun Shows actually has it listed on their site for both dates:

best gun show food out there that i have been to.
May have the best food, but was very upset as a vendor.. Booked the tables with the show promoter/owner and confirmed (as advertised on here) that they were 8 foot tables…Arrived to be told tables were 6 foot and I would have to buy another to get the space I needed. Found out later this was the case with another vendor as well.. When i expressed my concern about this I was told by the show manager I would have to take that up with the owner. At that time i was told he was in the hospital and had been for some time and was setting up the show from there. As a result almost no advertising was done and attendance was pitiful. Since the show, I have been trying to contact the show owner, but his answering machine is either full or turned off, he will not answer his phone, and his e-mail is full and returns any attempts to contact him that way.. Will in all likelihood NOT do or attend this show again…
WIll this show be on? looking forward to it if it is.
I checked the internet and it said 4 June 2016. I drove from Mt Vernon only to find NO GUN SHOW. This is the third time this has happened. The promoters of the show ave very sloppy and inconsiderate of those who might go to the show. If you intend to go, phone the VFW the night before. It is a good show on the RARE instances that it is actually open.
