Gun Show Field Trip

This morning, Senior and I chose to go check out the gun show that was in town. We have been before, but not together since December. We dropped the kids off early with my parents..Senior decided to stay in the truck today..

We got down to the venue and met up with a few other friends; DUKE, PIRATE JIM and REBEL. One thing I have noticed in recent years is how long the line to get in has grown and, how fast the hall fills up. It opened at 9am, and by 11am, it was a shoulder to shoulder traffic jam . We also noticed today how much things have gone up...some of the prices on guns, and ammo was ridiculous, but none more crazy then a guy selling range bags..

Senior and I did not purchase any firearms today, but did get some odds and ends. I am putting together a little medical kit for my BOB, and found some Israel first aid items, got some kid sized para cord bracelets for our boys, and I purchased a very nice Roma concealed carry purse, its a messenger bag style which is what I was looking for. Senior picked up a ammo can full of 40 cal ammo... turned out to be about $.26 a round.

 But the best deal I got was on the "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" series by Matthew Bracken. I got all three books for 12.00 each..they go for 20.00 on amazon. Three years ago I borrowed the series from Stephen, and have since wanted my own copies...they are that good- and a MUST READ !!!  The sellers know Mr. Bracken and have been trying to get him to do a book signing at a future gun show, I hope he will accept and participate, I would like to one day meet him.

 

We found this to be the loneliest booth at the gun show:

Rebel And I came across this read...

Then we opened it:

 BAHAHAHA!!!!

Good God What a big Gun!!!  :

After walking around for a couple of hours, getting separated a few times, and debating over the purchase of a Henry Repeating Firearm..which we decided not to purchase, we left and Senior treated me out to lunch  : )
