AS the entire firearms industry braces for the impact of gun bans in the midterm national elections, expect extravagance and grandiose displays of state-of-the-art sporting firearms and shooting products as the Association of Firearms and Ammunition Dealers (AFAD) hosts the final part of the 30th Defense and Sports Arms Show slated Nov. 20 to 24, 2024, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

AFAD spokesman Alaric Topacio said as the heat of the election gun ban was expected to hit hard on the firearms industry, they were making sure this year's final show would be a whole lot different from the previous show last August and the Davao City edition last month.
