Banned in Highland Park: The Legends of Hammerli, SIG, Walther, Steyr, FWB &&&&

Legendary Guns of Hammerli, Walther, SIG, Steyr, Pfuff, Hi Standard, and others:  Banned Assault weapons in Highland Park

A special exhibition, technical discussion, and offer for sale of these
classic, unbelievably accurate firearms.  An array of handguns, and a
few rifles by Tanner, Gruenig and Elmiger, and others never before in
the USA, or rare as hen's teeth at best.

This is the largest,
most advanced exhibition and sale of these guns ever held in the USA. 


Some of these guns have never been offered in the USA until now.


Please see

http://lakeforest.patch.com/groups/buy-sell-trade/p/legendary-icons-banned-in-highland-park--walther...

for more details, including images of about 25% of the guns that will be available.

This
is not a political discussion and not an event to promote concealed carry classes (although information on that can be made available at the event).  It is a display, offer of the guns for
sale, and an assortment of very congenial, but technically high level
presentations and discussions about the guns.

No charge, children
welcome with responsible adult.  Any sale must proceed through standard
FFL route, no private sales at this location.  Although Highland Park does not permit gun sales with background checks within its boundary, the organizer of this event is of the opinion that while that ordinance is not in conflict with Illinois law, that local ordinance is dangerous, contrary to public safety and interest, in conflict with US Supreme Court rulings and final decisions, and that exception will not be applied to sales at this event. 

Special sales rules
apply to law enforcement officers.  No law enforcement discounts.  Inquire first.

For info on the guns and this event, email Nikita@alum.MIT.edu

The
more typical "assault gun" also will be available for retail sale, in
the nearby gun shop, but NOT part of this special exhibition.
