Washington Arms Collectors is dedicated to providing a safe environment for all members, participants, and vendors at events. We require all persons at our events to follow the rules below, affectionately known as “C&R Rules of the Road.“

NON-MEMBERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING A FIREARM INTO ANY W.A.C. EVENT / GUN SHOW. THIS IS A MEMBER ONLY PRIVILEGE.

  1. No modern firearms or accessories shall be displayed on tables at the Antique, Curio & Relic Swap Meet. Modern firearms are defined as those manufactured less than 50 years ago.
  2. As an arms-collecting organization, all items displayed at the Antique, Curio & Relic Swap Meet must be arms-related and consistent with WAC’s purpose.
  3. Antique firearms may be sold or purchased at the swap meet by any current adult WAC member. Antique is defined as a firearm manufactured before 1899 and designed for ammunition not readily available through ordinary commercial channels. Curio and relic firearms are those at least 50 years old and may be purchased by adult WAC members holding a current Curio & Relic license or other valid FFL.
  4. No antique or curio and relic firearm displayed on a table shall be loaded. Firearm ties will be provided.
  5. The Antique, Curio & Relic Swap Meet exists to enhance the private collections of participants, not as a commercial enterprise. Compliance with all federal, state, and municipal laws is required.
  6. No sales of black powder, smokeless powder, or primers are permitted.
