Bossier City Gun & Knife Show 2026 returns to the Civic Center, Dec 5-6

The Bossier City Gun & Knife Show is a two-day firearms and edged-weapons expo staged at the Bossier City Civic Center in Louisiana. Produced by 2A Events, the promoter behind a multi-state circuit across Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, it brings licensed dealers, private collectors and specialty vendors together for a weekend of buying, selling and trading. Inside the hall you will find modern pistols and rifles alongside shotguns, antique knives, war relics, personal defense weapons, gun safes, holsters and display cases. Hunting accessories, optics and outdoor equipment fill out the floor, so the show works equally for shooters, collectors and hunters. Most vendors take credit cards, but admission is cash-only at the door. Show hours are Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 10-4. Adult admission runs $10, kids 6-11 pay $2, and children under 6 get in free. Parking at the Civic Center is free of charge. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent, and firearm buyers need a valid state ID to run the background check. The venue sits on Benton Road, just a short drive from the Louisiana Boardwalk, Barksdale AFB and the Shreveport riverfront. Out-of-town visitors will find hotels and restaurants lining the Airline Drive and I-20 corridors nearby — worth booking ahead, since the December edition is one of the busier dates on the 2A Events calendar.
