Membership

You are cordially invited to become a member of TGCA.

We’d sure be happy to welcome you aboard. All that is required of members is that they have a keen interest in arms collecting and associated activities.

Since its beginning over fifty years ago, TGCA has welcomed collectors from every state in the Union, and from abroad as well. Today’s Association Directory indicates members in forty-four states and eight foreign countries including Australia.

Membership couldn’t be easier. Anyone who has not been convicted of a criminal offense and is not facing criminal charges, is of good repute and who has a genuine interest in the collecting, preservation, display and history of antique and historic, and classic collectible firearms and their accessories and accoutrements are welcome.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next show!
