Collection, Possession, and Use of Arms by Responsible Persons

“OGCA exudes my sediments for hunting, marksmanship, collecting, sport of shooting and competitive shooting. We need to get youth included in every area; clubs, collecting, shooting.”

“I like older firearms, so a family friend, Frazen Bell, took me to a show, and I was hooked. A favorite memory is one display where a member had a Beecher Bible Sharps Rifle with matching SN Bayonet very rare that I had only seen in books.”

I joined because I enjoyed looking at everything there, not like some shows where it’s more like a flea market. Don’t have favorite memory, but I’m always excited when I get to go, because I see something I’ve never seen or learn something I didn’t know.”

“I like to see and hear the stories about the old guns. Going to Columbus as a child with my dad, and then being able to attend the Wilmington show with my dad and children.”

“A gun shop dealer mentioned OGCA when I was looking at his stock. After hearing his description about the association and its meetings I asked if I could be his guest to check it out. I liked what I saw and acquired sponsors to become a member.  I look forward to the adventure of finding interesting items and visiting with folks as I toured the tables.”

“Many people recommended the OGCA as the best gun show in Ohio, they were right!”
