TO NEACA Members and Exhibitors – by D. Petronis

TO NEACA Members and Exhibitors,   … You may already have seen this product on the web

unnamed

A mount for a cell phone that makes the phone appear to look like a  semi-automatic handgun!

 

To the management at and for our NEACA Arms Fairs and Gun Shows we have taken a stand against allowing their sale at our events. NY State will probably ban them anyway!

 

It may look cute … but we are not going to be the show promoters who get caught up in a law suit when some unfortunate and more likely DUMB individual either gets shot by police or mugged by the public who then wants to sue us for having allowed it to be sold at our shows.

unnamed-1

 

 

My advice; don’t invest your money in them because we will not allow their sale.

Don’t bring them to our next shows in August at Old Forge, Saratoga Springs or Newburgh.

Thanks to all of you.

 

When someone wants a gun for protection or “looks” sell them a Real One legally!

Katherine Hutton WWI Heroine – by S. McBride

World War I began with the assassination of one small nation’s leader in April, 1914 which ignited a glut of regional hostilities, and like a spider snaring victims in a web, drew much of Europe into a war like none the world had ever seen before.

   The United States resisted involvement for several years, not wanting to get sucked into a primarily European war that had little meaning for the western hemisphere.  But on April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany after a number of attacks on civilian ships and an attempt by Germany to draw Mexico into the war on their side.
