Gun and Knife Shows in Georgia

Back in the pioneer days, guns and knives were a necessity of life. If you didn't have a gun to shoot game with, and a knife to skin and clean your prey, you were probably stuck with bread and beans for dinner. These days however, guns and knives are more for collecting than using for bagging your next meal. Gun and knife shows are big business now, and Georgia has some of the largest.
