Who is going to the SHOT Show ??
« on: December 16, 2018, 09:52:02 PM »
because I am !!!
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It's looking about 90% certain that I'll be there for the duration.

That is something I hope to be able to do after pulling the ejection handle.

Not me.  I went 10 to 12 years ago by myself and enjoyed it, but since all I could do was look, it wasn't too much fun.  I think the products that are out now are much more interesting than they were when I went.

Gun industry -- what's your excuse?  What gets you in the door?
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Maybe he's in MHI or MCB and can't talk about it...

One of my soldiers is now chief of police in Lexington, IL.  He's going, he'd take his wife, but she neither drinks nor gambles.  He's going to a bunch of seminars, so I', going to be footloose and fancy free.  I'll probably hit the blackjack table at Slots o' Fun, since it's $1.  (I play to kill time, not to try to break Vegas.)  We're going to see Marc Savard Wednesday night.  But other then that I'll be roaming around the Sands Expo.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.

I am jealous. 

If you could post pictures of interesting guns and such, we would all appreciate it.   =D

Blackjack is always a good one.  Follow the rules and you can stretch a couple hundred for a long weekend if you don't end up winning.

Oh, he'll talk about it.
