Liberty Tree Monthly Gun Swap
Buy what you need and sell what you don’t!
The Hometown Meetup
A monthly buy, sell & trade for private sellers
The Liberty Tree Gun Swap is a popular buy, sell and trade meetup held the second Thursday of most months from 5PM to 7PM (double-check it’s happening this month before you head out). Bring privately owned firearms and firearms-related items to sell or trade with fellow enthusiasts from across the four-state Joplin metro.
The Swap is hosted inside Liberty Tree Guns at 530 W Fir Rd, Suite C, Carthage, MO 64836 (across from Lowe’s). Private sellers only. Free admission.
What Is the Gun Swap?
Neighbors trading with neighbors
Attendees may bring privately owned firearms and firearms-related items for sale or trade. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly evening to clear out the safe, find your next favorite, and talk shop with people who get it — all under the same roof as your hometown gun shop.
No tables to rent, no entry fee, no big-box runaround. Just show up, check your firearms at the door, and start dealing.
