Pinellas Patriots at the Lakeland Gun Show!

LAKELAND CENTER (map)

Selected By: kathy

Pinellas Patriots has a booth at the Lakeland Gun Show! This is one of Florida's largest gun show of the year, with over 600 tables and approximately 7,000 visitors.

With our Concealed Weapons Class coming up next month, this is a good time to see what type of firearm fits your needs. This Gun Show is a favorite for local gun collectors, hunters, and enthusiast. Dealers and private collectors from across the state of Florida exhibit at this show. You'll find a huge selection of guns, accessories, and many hard to find items.

You are permitted to bring a gun(s) into the show for the purpose of appraisal, sale, trade or for accessories. There will be a security man who will check it and then secure it with a plastic tie strap that will prohibit the gun from firing. You MUST make sure the gun is unloaded prior to entering the show and also empty any loaded magazines and leave the ammunition in your vehicle. Even, if you are a concealed weapon permit holder! Safety is a priority and there is a zero tolerance policy. You will be immediately ejected should you break this rule.

    Saturday we were slammed! The official count was over 4,500 visitors through the doors. Given the opportunity to speak with so many like-minded people all in one place, the day flew by quickly. Many thanks to Tony for popping in to help out and also to Sue and Eileen for setting up on Friday!

    Wow. Over 4000 people. Kathy and I talked to so many and they were wonderful. Marco Rubio showed up and you could feel the excitement in the room. Met Organizers from other groups who love what we do and asked to be in touch with us to see if we can combine efforts. A long, busy, positive day. Hope tomorrows show will be just as good.
