    In Williamsburg VA

    So I have been here since Saturday staying in some timeshare condo for a week.
    I have one day where i can do something other tham what the wonan planned.
    *Where is the closest Bass Pro Shops?
    *Are there any cool military surplus supply stores around?
    *Any survivalists stores around?

    I don't need any "points of interest" or hey you got to visit...... Places.
    I'm only looking for good stores.

    I'll be there for Labor Day, we stay at the Powhattan Resort. There really isn't anything I know of in Williamsburg. Greentop is a nice gun store just north of Richmond https://www.greentophuntfish.com/

    Most anything else you have to head on east on I-64 to Hampton or Newport News.

    There is also a Bass Pro about one or two exits from the GreenTop Sports. There is also a Bass Pro in Newport News, but it is smaller than the one is Richmond.

    I have stopped at the GreenTop Sports and thought that they were a little on the expensive side. I was surprised as they looked, from the outside, like a place where you could find some good deals. I did get a GreenTop t-shirt that was on clearance, though.

    Just google for local surplus/hunting/gun shops.

    Google is handy but it won't tell you if a store only carries new stuff at MSRP or higher or that the owner is a dick and a visit to his store is a waste of time or that Store A is big on Milsurps or never has sold a "black rifle" and never will. Having some that knows the area and or stores that carry what you're looking for can sure save a lot of time and frustration.
