I have been researching guns for a few months now and have learned a great deal, but still feel very naive. I joined the NRA, got the CHP, and am signed up to take a basic gun class this month with a well respected instructor here in the Richmond area.
Yesterday's gun show was awesome. I was able to get a few hundred bucks worth of .380 ammo (which is just about impossible to find these days) from various vendors by different manufacturers. I also picked up some really cool knives, a multi-tool by CRKT, a S&W tactical pen, and a NASTY stun gun at a rock bottom price. I spent a wad, but had a ball, and got what I wanted.
And, I'm not an Inspector. I just wanted a funny handle, and they wouldn't let me call myself "Dirty Harry".
