HSCA meeting and displays at Kansas City, July 28-30, 2017

Several members of the HSCA attended the Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Association gun show in Kansas City, MO, the weekend of July 28-30.  Some HSCA members had collection displays for the attendees to peruse.  It was a good weekend for members to enjoy the conversation and company of fellow members.  We liked looking at the member's displays.  There were many firearms that one will never see outside of these collections.  We all went to dinner on Saturday evening at one of the local restaurants.  It was fun to talk with other members and enjoy good food.  We're looking forward to the next event.
