C-Span will be running a two-part special on the NRA's National Firearms Museum as part of their American Artifacts series.
From the NRA Blog:
C-SPAN3 is airing an inside look of the NRA National Firearms Museum this Sunday, March 9, at 6:00pm. Part of the American Artifacts series, this two-part tour starts with the Robert Petersen Gallery and runs through the entire museum collection.American Artifacts airs on Sunday evenings at 6pm and 10pm with a live stream available at http://www.c-span.org/History/
"It's a pleasure to welcome the cameras of C-SPAN to the National Firearms Museum," said NRA Museums Director Jim Supica. "Sharing our exhibits with the general public is part of our mission and C-SPAN is a great venue for just that."
The show is available online on the Monday following the broadcast. Either way you watch it, this sounds like a worthwhile show.
A teaser of what will be shown is below.

It's a pretty cool museum for gunnies. If you end up in the DC area, it's a good 30 minute drive from downtown. There is no metro access (you need a car). I'd say it's worth the trip, but I would not expect the kids to spend much time there.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to the museum back in the early 70s when the NRA was still located in DC. I'm sure it is much larger and nicer now.
