“This particular shot gun is a Parker,” gun enthusiast Mike Hankinson explained to FOX 17. “It’s considered the best American made double barrel that was ever made, and it’s a 12 gauge.”
Hankinson has been a gun enthusiast nearly his entire life; however, some pieces in his collection aren’t working for him anymore.
“We had shooting exhibitions in the gymnasium at Comstock Park High School with a couple of girls that shot for the Grand Rapids Rifle Team,” he explained. “My shoulders are getting to the point where I don’t enjoy shooting a 12 gauge.”
So, Hankinson is looking forward to Holland’s Original Gun and Knife Show next weekend.
“So, I am hoping to swap that one off for a lighter gauge, lower power shells and all that,” he added.
This year, Hankinson needs to bring more than the stock because he’s trying to sell.
Permit traffic picks up as Michigan’s new guns laws go into effect
“I’d like one permit for handgun. I would like two permits for the long gun, the new permit,” Hankinson said.
