Thoughts on the Day

  • My day included watching machine guns go off, talking to a few hundred people and trying to convince them to buy raffle tickets for the FNRA, and briefly meeting one of my favorite authors.
    • This was a good day.
  • If your jeans are so tight that I can read your pulse from 10 yards away, maybe you need to ease up a little.
  • If the only thing that an older woman from Tennessee will say about you, to your face, is “Bless your heart”, you might want to start doing a little introspection to figure out how you messed up your life so bad.
  • One of the guys I was working with today at Knob Creek took a moment to walk around and get some stuff.  He found:
    • CCI Large Rifle primers for $30 per 1000
    • Winchester Large Pistol primers for $32 per 1000
    • 550 cartridge packs of Federal .22 LR for $62
    • Wolf Gold brass cased .223 for $300/1000
    • PMC .223 for $390/1000
  • I would have gone to the Ares Arms booth to shake their hands and buy something to help support them, but the mob of people with the same idea was too big.
  • It is a good feeling when someone tallies up the raffle tickets you’ve been selling and figures out that you’ve broken even on two raffles and are almost there with one more and your group still has two days left to sell them.
    • It’s especially good when you realize that those two days will have thousands of people drifting past your booth, and a good percentage of them will want to win some guns.
  • It occurred to me that the FNRA could make a boatload of money if instead of raffling off guns, they instead raffled off a few thousand .22 Long Rifle rounds.

    “550 cartridge packs of Federal .22 LR for $62”

    I’m so depressed right now. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to make myself shoot anything from my stockpile for fear that I’m just wasting money, since the value of bulk 22 has apparently quadrupled since I bought it just a couple years ago…

    When you said “Wolf Gold” I thought you meant the Rooskies were importing .22LR now…
