The Association of Firearms and Ammunition Dealers of the Philippines
(AFAD) formally announced the details involving the 20th Defense and
Sporting Arms Show set for July this month. The firearms show, which is
the only one endorsed by the Philippine National Police, is set to
happen in July this year. The event will put under one roof all the
biggest retailers, representing all the largest firearms brands in the
world in order to generate interest in firearms, educate the public
about firearms in general, and provide the perfect venue for existing
shooters to increase the size of their collections, as well as stock up
on their weapon-related consumables.
This year, the DSAS will be reaching out to a broader audience by
shifting towards a more an experiential gun show. Along this vein, there
will be free seminars and industry-related activities for the duration
of the event. There will also be a special “Art in Arms” section, where
uniquely decorated firearms, antiques, pictures and shooting memorabilia
will be on display for everyone to appreciate. The 20th Defense and
Sporting Arms Show will run from the 19th to the 23rd of July this year,
at the Megatrade Hall in SM Megamall.
