Big Al’s Silver Bullet Productions, Inc. has a “Big Al’s Gun and Premier Knife Show” scheduled for Jan. 5-6 in Danbury, Conn., 13 miles from Newtown, the site of last week’s mass shooting that left 28 people, including 20 first graders, dead.

According to the company’s website, children under 10 will be admitted free if accompanied by adults.

The New York Times put in a call to the company’s office on Tuesday:

A man who answered the phone number listed on the Big Al’s site said “yes” when asked Tuesday morning if the show was still on. When asked further questions, he replied, “I really have no comments, buddy.” When asked his name, he said, “Have a good day” and hung up.
