NRA Museum in Fairfax, Va.Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...
I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.
Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

The Royal Danish Arsenal Museum, in Copenhagen Denmark is the finest firearms museum I've ever been to.
It has cannons from the 1200's all the way up to modern firearms. It's a hall 156 meters long, two stories, nothing but guns and cannons.
One of these days I'll get my photos up.
Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

This is an impossible task; there are firearms displayed everywhere around the world. I was at the Soldier's and Sailor's memorial hall in Pittsburgh PA recently and viewed an 03 Springfield serial number 75 on display! Guns in museums aboundComment

The firearms museum at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody Wyoming is really great.
Also in Boisie Idaho, inside the old state penitentiary is the late J. Curtis Earl's full auto collection.Comment

I think they stopped giving tours after 9/11/01, but the Hoover Building in Washington, DC, Headquarters building for the FBI.
Their small arms room is, basically, one of everything. There is a windowed hallway that tourists walk through, and this particular section is approximately 100 or so feert long, with 10 foot racks, about every 10 feet, ptojecting towards the windows.
Every surface has a weapon, racked rifles, machine pistols, shotguns, machine guns, pistols. Every time I saw something that I thought was cool, I noticed there were several versions of it.
Same trip, the Smithsonian has several smaller arms displays, for example, battle rifles of the US since WW!, including variants of the contenders for contracts, FAL T44, etc.
There's a small, small arms museum in Charleston, SC, at the Yorktown, over by the Pibber Patrol Boat, M-16s, Thumpers, Viet Nam era small arms.
The CItadel, in Charleston, has tons of M14s that you can see every Friday during parades, not up close unless you shave your head though.
That's all I've got for now.Originally posted by tony270It's easy to be a keyboard warrior, you would melt like wax in front of me, you wouldn't be able to move your lips.Originally posted by repubconservPrint it out and frame it for all I careOriginally posted by el chivoI don't need to think at all..XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOriginally posted by pjsigYou are talking to someone who already won this lame conversation, not a brick a wall.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Springfield Armory Historical Site:
For nearly two centuries, the U.S. Armed Forces and American industry looked to Springfield Armory for innovative engineering and superior firearms. Springfield Armory National Historic Site commemorates the critical role of the nation’s first armory by preserving and interpreting the world's largest historic US military small arms collection, along with historic archives, buildings and landscape.I've never seen an American flag burned at a gun show.Comment
