Mission Statement

To gather together persons desiring to promote and encourage the study of arms, antique and modern, and all accessories thereto, their histories and developments.

To promote good fellowship among the members and their guests.

To promote and defend the right to own firearms. To make members, as well as non-members, aware of the historical and educational concept of arms collecting.

 

The October 2009 Issue of the American Rifleman has an article listing our 2 day gun show in the top 13 shows in the country. The article mistakenly refers to this organization by its the old name, which was changed years ago (Forks of the Delaware Weapons Assn).  Click Here to read about it.
