Fort Worth Gun Show Draws Big Crowds
NBC 5's Sara Story reports on one of the first gun shows in North Texas after the Tragedy in Sandy Hook. Fears over gun control regulation prompted many gun collectors to show up.
Gun enthusiasts were met with long lines at the Will Rogers Memorial Center for The Original Fort Worth Gun Show.
"The attendance has just been over the top," The Original Fort Worth Gun Show owner Tim Finucane said.
Finucane said the gun show has been in his family for decades, but Saturday's crowd was a first. He said this crowd was driven by the uncertainty of gun laws in the wake of the school shooting in Sandy Hook, Connecticut that killed 20 children.
"The talk of restricting gun ownership, restricting ammo, restricting accessories, people are concerned," Finucane said. "They think they need to get out and buy it before the government takes it away."
President Obama has formed a team that will look at gun control laws and possibly recommend new regulations.
As the demand for guns increased, so has the prices.
"Last year, I paid $345 for my .40 caliber hand gun. Now. I paid $557," gun owner James Smith said.
There were no protests visible to NBC DFW crews on Saturday. However, a small crowd held a protest outside The Dulles Center in Virginia where "The Nations Gun Show" took place.
The Fort Worth gun show closed Saturday night but will re-open Sunday morning at 10. The owners expect a full house.
