Thoughts on the Day

  • My streak of great gun related days stands at 3.
  • Tonight, I attended an event called “Gunapalooza”, put on by the Falls of the Ohio Friends of the NRA chapter.  Basically, my ticket to the event put me in a drawing.  There were 51 guns in the drawing, and they sold 191 tickets, so basically I had about a 1 in 4 chance of winning.  The guns started out with rather inexpensive, but nice firearms like a Ruger 10/22, and went all the way up to a very nice Italian over/under shotgun that was said to be worth about $2000.  There were also other games and drawings to buy into for firearms and gear.
  • In the regular drawing, I won a Kimber Solo Carry with custom grips, which is nice.
  • Due to ATF regulations and federal gun control laws, I must wait a few days for magic courier elves to whisk my new pistol across the Ohio River, fighting off the bands of gun thieves and other bandits who prowl the borderlands between Kentucky and Indiana, and bring it to an FFL here in Louisville.  This is somehow preferable to me just passing a NICS check tonight and bringing it home in the truck.  Pictures will follow once it’s in my hot little hands.
  • My brother-in-law, who went to the event with me, won a very nice Marlin .30-30 lever action with gold inlays of a cowboy and the NRA logo on it in one of the side drawings.  His ticket was one number higher than mine, which is nice for him, I suppose.
