Maybe there is some obvious law or ordinance I am unaware of, but why are there virtualy no gun stores inside the beltway?
It would seem like a slam dunk. High salaries, little competion and customers from MD could come buy their mags/accsessories that they can't get shipping into their state.
Even if the prices were a tad on the high side to cover expensive retail space, They should be able to clean up. There are a ton of little boutique stores in say Old Town that can't possibly have the kind of cash flow a well run gun store would.
If I want to buy something, I have to drive down to quanitico or out to culpepper. There are a handfull of small shops down that way, but they are attrocious. Hansohn Brothers is worth the 1.5hr drive, but I spend more in gas than I do saving on xfers.

The only one I know of is the one in downtown Falls Church. I believe it's called Nova Firearms and is in the Bedo's building (the leather shop on the old house right on Broad Street). I haven't been on there personally, but I have heard good things.

plus I would imagine rent is more expensive inside the beltway compared to further south/west. Especially with the proliferation of online gun buying. Most people aren't gonna pay $100 more for a gun in person at their local store than they would online.

I haven't been on there personally, but I have heard good things. NoVa Firearms moved to Mclean. And oddly enough...still inside the beltway.
