A three-day gun show at the Knoxville Armory held by Midwest Event Promotions will start today.

This event will run from 4:00 – 8:00 pm tonight, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Saturday, and 9:00 am – 3:00 pm on Sunday. There is an $8 admission fee and there will be a large variety of handguns, long guns, crossbows, accessory vendors and more. There will be opportunities to buy, sell, or trade. James Chapline with Midwest Event Promotions says they hope everyone can make it out to the show and they also want to give back to the communities in which these shows are held.

“One major thing we are trying to do as we travel around to all these different towns and cities is give back to local nonprofits. We haven’t yet picked one as far as who we are going to be donating to in Knoxville. We are working on obtaining our 501(3)(c) where we can then hold three/four month raffles and then donate to local nonprofits. We just feel it’s important to give back to the communities who accept us and accept our shows.”

Background Checks will be available on site.
