Professor Yamane Attended the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association Annual Meeting

I would not use the word crashed. Professor David Yamane at Light Over Heat has an interesting article. I Crashed the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association Annual Meeting

Last summer, I attended the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association (SWCA) annual meeting in Concord, North Carolina to give a presentation about my book, Gun Curious. The SWCA then made me an Honorary Member of the Association. And this spring, they published the text of my presentation in their journal.

For someone whose focus has been on defensive gun culture (Gun Culture 2.0) rather than collecting and other aspects of Gun Culture 1.0, this experience was as gratifying as it was surprising.

Like all of Professor Yamane's writing, it is worth reading.
