When Will My Firearms Go On Display?

February 3, 2014 by Ashley Hlebinsky

One question we often get from our donors is: When will my firearms go on display?

The answer to that question is not a simple one. Sometimes it won’t go on display for a while because of lack of display space, but what delays its presentation to the public more often than not is the procedure we have to follow, known as our acquisition process. Check out our latest Vlog to see more of the Lone Ranger Gun and see how we get guns like these on display.

Thanks for watching, and we will update you next with our recent acquisition of exhibition shooter Tom Knapp’s CZ USA shotguns! Check out our Facebook and Twitter pages.
