Gun show memories

Guns Magazine, Jan, 2005 by Chris Beebe

I enjoyed John Taffin's article on the gun show loophole in your September issue. I want to let John and your readers know, that first gun show he mentioned attending at the Swiss Club in Canton Ohio, 1956, was one of the first shows put on by the Stark Gun Collectors, and we're still going strong. One of our founding members, Shelby Estep, has a photo of some of the boys out in front of the Swiss Club, from one of those early shows. Our shows are now held at the Massillon Knights of Columbus twice per year, the first weekends of April and October. Tell John to stop by and introduce himself, we'd be glad to have him.
