Welcome to Gun Calendars.com. Every day has a story in firearms history. Here you will find the patents, inventors, laws and battles behind each date, plus the 2A rallies, gun shows and matches that fill the year for gun owners.
Gun Calendars.com is part of the Gun Websites Firearms Network, built by shooters for shooters, with a pro-Second Amendment mission: the more gun owners know about where their rights and their guns came from, the better they can defend both.
