I think the more fundamental issue here is that this show is now too big for the Dulles Expo Center, and the problem will get a hell of a lot worse when 50% or more of the available parking will be taken up by WalMart shoppers in the relatively near future. And the rest of the parking in the area is private offices and malls - I can see people getting ticketed and/or towed if the spillover gets bad.
But, I'm not sure there are too many options (or any at all) for another venue for the Nations Gun Show in northern VA. The Loudoun County fairgrounds is on the far side of Leesburg, which might be too far for the "beltway" crowd. And the Patriot Center is on a college campus, so that would be a no-go.
Just saying, the Nations Gun show is probably stuck between a rock and a hard place. Might eventually lead to the demise of that show if gets much uglier to try and attend .... and it likely will...
