The Real Wilmington Gun Show is this weekend on Holly Shelter Road at the New Hanover County Law Enforcement Officer's Club.
Organizers said the Real Wilmington Gun Show will focus on safety and background checks required before a purchase can be made.
“We know we're selling guns legally and to people who are legal to possess them,” said show promoter Alan Tiller. “Of course there are other ways guns fall into the hands of criminals that we can't really control, but there are laws on the books to take care of that also.”
Doors open at 9:00 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday morning. Admission is $ 5; it's free for children 12-and-under as long as they come with a parent.
Here's to you FREEDOM... You
Here's to you FREEDOM...
You go and "hug your tree", I'll embrace my gun's!
Gun Controlled
If you check your history you will see that Japan could have invaded the USA. One of the top advisors stated that the only reason they did not was because the citizens had weapons. I just feel that with this new gun bill floating around, you will have your guns but no ammo.
People buy guns because we
People buy guns because we can. If we don't exercise our rights, they will slowly wither away. If you don't trust yourself with a firearm, don't buy one. That is your prerogative, but don't talk down to those who are merely exercising their constitutional rights.
Only in the USA...the Real
Only in the USA...the Real gun show as opposed to the FAKE gun show... call it what it is... the Real GUN SALE and SHOW. WHy do people need guns...?? Oh.. FEAR... thats right>>>sorry I won't BUY into it!!
been there
i've had a pistol since college. came in very handy (back in '81) when the apartment off kerr ave i was leasing was broken into in the middle of the nite. he saw the 38 and left. if you're against owning a gun, great. don't buy one. maybe your midnite visitor will wait while you dial 911.
LOL
Are you serious? FEAR...it's called EMPOWERMENT. Gun ownership is a RIGHT given to us by our forefathers who were MUCH MUCH smarter than we are. While others might sit back and allow themselves to be victimized by criminals as well as the government...I have a means to protect myself against BOTH!
Our forefathers were smart
Our forefathers were smart indeed, yet never likely beholding the power of guns in the future (hello-our current time period)...have your muskets please and be ready to un-victimize yourself!! And are you implying that owning a firearm will protect you FROM "the government"? Explain this please oh great gun owner....oh great EMPOWERED ONE!!! Are you loaded and ready?? Are you paranoid?? Think someone is out to get you??
Gun show
To Freedom:
How ironic that you sign your comments as freedom.
To answer your question "Why do people need guns?"
How long do you think you would have freedom if citizens did not have the right to own guns? Germany before WWll is a good example, when Hitler confiscated all of the guns, the citizens had no defense to his demonic demands. Hopefully we will never be faced with a maniac like that in this country, but I am sure the Germans did not see Hitler as a maniac at first either.
The criminals will always find a way to have guns. I want my guns so I can defend myself and my property. I also pray that I will never have to use my gun for that purpose. I am aware that there are those out there that would do harm to another human being, I for one would like to think I could protect myself if I encountered someone like that. That does not mean I live in fear.
There is need of guns for hunters. Because deer have very few natural prey, to keep the
population under control, man is now needed to keep the population of deer from taking over everything. They are quite destructive, talk to the farmers if you don't want to take my word for it.
Your name holds the answer
You may rely on 911 to protect you, I and many others don't. When you call the police, do you expect them to arrive carrying sticks? Why do people need insurance?
If these ships being hijacked by the pirates had weapons on board to protect themselves, four armed pirates wouldn't have been able to overtake twenty others and would probably think twice about trying to hijack anyone else. They prey on the ones they know are unarmed as you obviously think we all should be.
Check them out, support local business
