Hey all, I was wondering where if at all is the largest gun museum in the world? And if you knew about one, would you pay money to go to it and check it out?
I know that there is one in Hartford and I went there a long time ago in school on a field trip. I don't know why Hartford doesn't advertise the fact and isn't proud of its firearms heritage. Tourism bucks folks, geez.
I've always felt that Hartford was sitting on a gold mine in that respect but it's such a liberal slanted city that there is no way that it would do that.
I'm sure Springfield has a large gun museum as well considering its firearms manufacturing history. The dream would be to get the two cities to collaborate and make some kind of Connecicut Valley Firearms Museum.
Possibly one of the largest gun collections in the world.
Imagine the tourist revenue?
Just boggles my mind when I think about it. Hartford has tried and tried to become a destination point. But it has and will remain a thoroughfare from New York to Boston.
It's a city mired in committee if you ask me. No visionary leaders.
