Alaskan gun enthusiasts are gearing up for this weekend’s 38th annual Gun and Outdoor show at Wasilla High School. Hosted by the Wasilla Warriors Hockey Booster Club, the show will run Jan. 14-15 in the high school gymnasium.
The longstanding event is part of a larger American cultural tradition of selling guns, ammunition and related accessories at more than 4,000 annual gun shows across the nation. These social gatherings are uniquely American, requiring a democratic environment that respects and upholds the rights of citizens to buy and possess firearms.
Wasilla’s gun show is one of the largest and oldest in the state. It includes more than 200 tables selling guns, ammo, knives, holsters, outdoor gear, antique collectables and much more. The cost is $8 to enter, and all admission proceeds go directly to help Warriors’ hockey pay for ice time, uniforms, jerseys, travel, scholarships and equipment. The first 200 people in the show on Jan. 14 have a chance to win a $300 gift certificate to Sportsman’s Warehouse
Gun shows typically appeal to a wide range of firearm enthusiasts, ranging from collectors, traders, hunters and those looking for personal protection. The unifying sentiment is support for the lawful possession and availability of firearms in America.
The upcoming show kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It continues on Jan. 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All federal and local firearm laws and ordinances will be followed. For more information, click here.

Man, I love this country!
Held at the high school?? That’s, at best, ironic.
The safest that school will be is this weekend. The rest rest of the year it will be an unsafe gun free zone.
Responsible gun ownership is really not ironic.
Mayo, isn’t it time for another booster shot. You’ll feel better medicated…
Know how I know that you aren’t an Alaskan, Mayo?
you will never be a real woman
I’ll bite. How?
It’s in your face, and been that way for decades.
I won’t go anywhere that I don’t have the right to protect myself , family and others. My gf Mag comes with me everywhere.
I was flaccid til I read your claim.
I don’t think that a troll can be anything but flaccid. You don’t think for yourself, you do and say whatever your globalist agenda dictates you to do or say.
My globalist WEF communist overlord has allowed me to respond to you FoH.
Mass shootings are part of a larger American cultural tradition of using guns, ammunition and related accessories hundreds of times each year at schools and public places across the nation. These events are uniquely American, requiring a democratic environment that respects and upholds the rights of citizens to buy and possess firearms.
IT’S TIME FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS AT GUN SHOWS. 90+% OF BOTH LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES AGREE ON THE MATTER.
The United States did not have a real problem with mass shootings until Obama got into office. Obama started the “Hate America” movement, made divisive comments, provided thousands of firearms to the Mexican cartel. Obama is not American and did not represent America. Bush, Clinton, Obama, and Biden do not represent Americans and sold out America to our enemies. It is time to get rid of the minions that work for the globalists including those in the demorat party.

This is good to see. The Mat-Su Veterans Foundation has held a gun show at Lumin Christi high school for 17 years but were told that they can no longer because the Arch Diocese caved to political correctness.
The Mat-su Veterans Foundation will continue to hold their guns shows, but at another location. The diocese told them they are no longer allowed to use the Lumen facility for the gun show. Correcting for the record.
You conservatives worry about youngsters attending drag shows, afraid that they might become gay or question their sexuality. But lay out a thousand different pistols, long guns, shot guns, and automatic rifles and all the macho bonerific clothing and leather holsters and belts, you’re OK with that. You are training kids, mostly boys, to see firearms as a solution to conflict. It leads to bad outcomes. For example, recently a Enoch Utah man killed all seven of his family after learning his wife wanted a divorce. Instead of a gun, what if he ran or rode his bike or chewed his knuckles or got drunk?
I don’t trust the anti government, far right gun fetishists to police themselves.
Mayo, I am so amazed that for hundreds of years we did not have “mass shootings” even though firearms were readily available to every person in a household. Gun are a tool for hunting and for protection. The globalists have been attempting to sculpt guns as weapons of mass destruction- they certainly have been using them as such for all of their wars! These discussions with you and the other lefty trolls are always the same content. Guns don’t kill – people kill. Once again, just look at all of the wars that the globalists have started. Car accidents cause more deaths than guns, so we better shut down all of the car lots because everyone – including kids – are freely walking through those car lots.
Faulty reasoning. Invalid.
Mayo, you think this is faulty reasoning? Please explain to me how my reasoning is faulty. I am interested in hearing your view on this.
