Sportsmen and gun enthusiasts are looking forward for the staging of the 29th Defense and Sporting Arms Show that features the latest firearms, accessories, and sporting goods on display on May 25-29 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
The Association of Firearms and Ammunition Dealers Inc., (AFAD) is anticipating all-out participation from exhibitors and members of the group who are all advocate for responsible gun ownership.
Senators Ronald ‘Bato’ Dela Rosa, along with top officials from the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the Executive Department, have been invited as guests during the opening ceremony set at 10:00 a.m.
Alaric Topacio said that aside from the usual activities on the renewal of licenses and application for new registered gun owners under close coordination with the PNP, participants have a chance to attend seminars regarding gun safety, security, and responsible gun ownership.
“Education and the promotion of responsible gun ownership is one of the mail goals of AFAD. We must continue to promote responsible gun ownership as animosity towards firearms has always been there,” said Topacio.
The 29th Defense and Sporting Arms Show will feature exhibitors such as Stronghand Incorporated, Final Option Trading Corporation, Force Site Inc, Lynx Firearms and Ammunition; Tactical Precision Trading, Armscor Shooting Center, Defensive Armament Resource Corp., Topspot Guns and Ammo, Lordman Leathercraft Guns and Ammo, True Weight, Tactics SOG Industries Inc., Trust Trade, PB Dionisio and Co., Inc.,
