Firearms Traditions for Today

Back in the present day, exhibits range from the long arm of the law (featuring Dirty Harry's S&W Magnum) to big- and small-game hunting. You can brush up on Olympic, national and international competition. See the revolver of NYPD officer and fallen hero Walter Weaver as it was found in the rubble of the collapsed towers on 9/11/2001. And don't miss the display of fakes, forgeries and fabrications.
