Santa Barbara Historical Arms Association (SBHAA)
Founded in 1957

Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month, at the Lions' Club in Carpinteria, CA, at 7:30 P.M. Members are encouraged to bring guests.

The displays generally follow a pre-announced theme: in recent months, members' displays have centered on military accoutrements and memorabilia of all things firearms. It is difficult to attend one of our meetings and not come away with a better understanding of our great Nation's past and its promises for the future.

Theme for January's Displays
Guns of the Early West

Theme for February's Displays
Personal Hunting Arms - Working Guns
(Single display OK: OVGC shooters, bring your favorite firearm -
and last scored target!

Theme for March's Displays
Favorite Manufacturer (i.e., S&W, Colt, Ruger)
