Spent the day at the NRA Firearms Museum today. So much to see, so little time. If you're in the area, you have GOT to go there.

Has anyone dragged their not-interested wife to this museum?
Would it be beneficial? Or just cause the time at the exhibitions to be rushed?
Should it be one of those, "I'll meet you back here for dinner", events?
I went to the NFM this past summer. A very cool place to go if you're into guns, but as a museum it could use a bit of work. A lot of the computer terminals they had setup to explain the exhibits weren't working, and I think they should have put things in numerical order to make it easier to keep track of (that will make sense if you go there, the #s on the exhibit items jump around for some strange reason). That being said, there were a lot of very historical and unusual firearms to see, well worth the visit. Not as good as the upper floor of the Springfield Armory to me, but that isn't a fair comparison.
