Where To Start

New to Gun Calendars.com? This is the quick tour. Gun Calendars.com tracks firearm history one day at a time, along with the rallies, gun shows, matches and shows that fill the year for gun owners.

Every date on the calendar is a short lesson: the day a famous design was patented, the birthday of an inventor, the signing of a law that still shapes what can be bought and carried today.
