Dad and I took the boys (the big ones) to the local gun show today, and what do you suppose I walked out with? A gun? Ammunition? Surely you jest.
I scored three ammunition clips for my Schmidt
Read the whole thing; there's a reason I stole his picture instead of bothering to do my own piece.
Dad, of course, picked up a really neat old 20-gauge side-by-side that dates from the early days of black powder cartridges, plus a wacky antique video game console that came with a light gun that seemed to be constructed from a real pellet gun, metal and all. Dad loves toy guns, and neither of us had ever seen one of these. But then, dad can find interesting things to buy just about anywhere. He picked up quite a few really neat pocketknives, too.

- Lots of tables with guns, lots of tables of knives. A few custom knife makers and even one or two gunsmiths. This is a welcome change from years past.
- Not ONE table with stuffed animals.

- "IGOLD 2008" stickers were everywhere, free for the taking on most exhibitors' tables, so most people were wearing one. Word is already spreading.
- One exhibitor even had small stacks of "Unorganized Militia Propaganda Corps" patches in his case!
I'm guessing you were at the Springfield Show; I worked the ISRA Booth at the Princeton show and we were passing out the IGOLD 2009 stickers as much as we could.
ReplyDeleteOk, that is just way too damned shiny (the bit about the UMPC patches, that is).
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me the gun show I might attend tomorrow will not be nearly as enjoyable...
That would be Arcola Guns & Ammo who had the patches. I also sell them through him.
ReplyDeleteReally wish I had made it to that show this weekend.
Me, too, but if you come to town, get in touch.
ReplyDeleteAwww... Thanks!
