Long lines are expected at the first Texas Gun and Knife Show of the year.
This weekend vendors will be setting up tables featuring specialty rifles and other novelties.
Friday, merchants were moving into the Abilene Civic Center to prepare for this weekend's big show.
Janice Hill, one of the event organizers, says with all the recent controversial news surrounding the gun debates, she's expecting the crowds to be bigger than ever.
"There's a little bit of everything from old collectors to the newest thing out there," says Hill. "It just helps you educate, and that's really what we're all about is to educate people and teach them how to use them safely/"
The show will start Saturday, doors open at 9 a.m. and you can check out the action until 5, or you can visit Sunday from 10 to 4 at the Civic Center downtown.
It will cost you $5 to get in.

Thanks for showing me at a gun show in your news video, pumping and shooting an imaginary shotgun around in the air, but it was quite misleading-it was not at this weekend's show-it was at another show in another location, and I was showing someone how someone in our workplace was acting stupidly by acting like he was shooting around with an imaginary shotgun, and nothing was done about it by management. I'm going to quit that dangerous workplace soon.
