Gun & Knife Show is this weekend in Jackson

JACKSON, Tenn. — More than 80 vendors set up Friday at the Jackson Fairgrounds Park in expectation of hundreds of shoppers over the two-day Gun and Knife Show.

The organizer says they have any kind of firearm, knife or accessory you could need, and he said they’ll follow their usual practices in screening anyone who buys a gun.

“As long as you live in the state of Tennessee and not a convicted felon, you can purchase a firearm from anyone, and we do have people that does background checks,” show manager Bill Abner said.

The gun show will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. It costs $10 to get in the door.
