Anyone know where I can purchase a single (or a few) round(s) of .50 BMG? I'd like to be able to show friends and family what this beautiful cartridge looks (and feels) like.

never seen it for sale in any local shops. I've allays had to mai-order it.
I can't recall seeing any packaging of less than 10 rounds.
If you were up NoVA way I could arrange to sell you a few rounds.

My son lives in Arlington (works for DoD). How close is that to you and how much would you want? I only want one or two.

Heck, I'll GIVE it to you if you want just one or two rounds. But I'm in far southwest VA 282 miles from Farmville, and I don't don't reckon you're allowed to mail ammo. Is it legal to FedEx or UPS it, and if so, will FedEx and/or UPS accept it? I know they bring it when I order it, but is there some sort of permit or gawdawful hazmat charge required?

They can be shipped via UPS with ORM-D labels. ORM-D is "Other Regulated Material - Domestic" (See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORM-D)
UPS does not require HAZMAT charges for small arms ammunition shipment.
