Historical battle reenactments are both very educational and a lot of fun to either participate in or watch. The Battle of Plattsburgh, a historic battle that ended the British invasion of the United States during the war of 1812, is one such battle that is reenacted every year in the state of New York. However, this year’s reenactment has been partially canceled due to the new gun law that was passed and went into effect on September 1st in the state of New York. The new law understandably has several reenactors scared with many canceling their planned appearances at the event.

If you’re really into historic firearms and militaria, an upcoming auction from the folks at Skinner Auctioneers will heavily feature the second half of the William Rose Colonial and Revolutionary arms collection. Those familiar will know that the first half of this collection was offered back in the fall of 2021 and featured a wide variety of arms that were in use during the 17th and 18th centuries as well as other items including personal accouterments and documents from the period. The second half of the auction is to commence on February 25th, 2022 during a live auction.
