Anyone else visited this place? What were your thoughts/highlights? Went there with some buddies before a shooting trip a couple months back. So much amazing stuff there. It's free too. Would recommend it desu. Pic related is a custom engraved revolver that belonged to JFK. Can dump a few pics if anyone's interested. what are some other /k/ approved museums?

I have been there a couple times OP, name a rifle and its probably behind the glass on display

Even if you don't like guns it's well laid out and displays everything well with sufficient information

I actually want to go again now its been a while

Bunch more stuff, I think this case had a lot of weapons either used by police or criminals in pretty high profile crimes etc. I remember something about things like that famous HEAT shootout, or other hostage or terrorist events - they had the guns from, i think.

Is that a FAMAS?
>>
>>33556545
Yeah it really is a nicely put together museum. I remember thinking that even /noguns/ would probably enjoy it. There's a ton of historical stuff there from colonial era, civil war, early american firearms, vietnam, etc etc.

Vietnam era M60 etc.

The FAMAS was cool

Other stuff was interdasting but I suppose that was the highlight for me and only real piece of note given their rarity in the US
>>
>>33557236
not to diminish rest of collection, as their are several pieces much more rare and unique than a FAMAS... just saying with regards to what I am interested in.

Yeah i was pretty stoked on that, and then some of the WWII stuff like MG42s. The just the odd rarer or prototype variations of regular guns. Much of the collection cabinets were annotated, and there were selector screens you could read about some of the odder guns we had no idea about. But then once we got to the last few rooms/cabinets a lot of the stuff was incorrectly/incompletely labelled so we couldn't actually learn about some of the rarer stuff there. In this pic: Vietnam bring backs

Yeah you're right. I hadn't looked at these photos much, but from what i recall, that M60 was in the Vietnam section. Perhaps that was a different one - this one may have been in a different section. Here's a slick Python

Wow it's a museum of all the things the NRA is actively trying to keep banned or make banned, to protect the collections of their wealthy donors as well as appease the legions of brain-dead fudds who claim to be for the second amendment but froth at the mouth over "evil killer assalt raifuls".

hopefully no one here supports the NRA in any way, shape, or form, because if you do you're literally a fucking idiot. They are not our friends AT ALL.
