Gun Show report
Pretty heavy traffic at the gunshow. A few thoughts:
- No wait to get in. My little one and I got there about 11:00, and no wait.
- V wasn’t the only kid there, and wasn’t the only girl, either. It’s great to see that.
- Funny aside. V and I had a chat before about the “no touching” rule. “Remember, honey, some people don’t want you to touch their stuff. If you want to touch something, we have to ask permission.” A few minutes into our walk through, V, at the top of her lungs…”Daddy! That LITTLE BOY IS TOUCHING!!!!,” she shouts, pointing at a youngster of about 9 or so, 4 years her senior. It was a nice improvement. Usually she is yelling at patrons for 4 rules violations.
- AR mania seems to be dying down a bit. There were parts a plenty, uppers, and complete rifles. I was able to get two DPMS lower part kits to finish off my receivers.
- I also picked up a Magpul CTR buttstock for my carbine. Wow. What a piece of gear! Not a hint of a rattle on my AR now.
- Plenty of ammo around. Prices were reasonable, except for the optimistic gentleman selling .380 ball for $25 a box. “Only .380 at the show,” he said proudly. At that price, it will be there a while.
All in all, an enjoyable afternoon!
