Notes from the front lines.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Filed in: Current Events, My Life

I had a visit with AFGWWWTRA yesterday. We always have a good time, but sadly our get-togethers are too few to suit either of us. Gossiping, to be done properly, requires face-to-face interaction, and we certainly gossip - unapologetically, I would venture to say. (This business gives us plenty of material with which to work!) This time we dug our dirt over a delicious Thai meal, easily one of the best I've had - from a restaurant in a town where I'd not expected such an eatery to even exist.

On my way home I stopped in to visit longtime crony Hunter Dan. (Dan's named after an "action figure" that looks suspiciously like him.) Dan is a manager for a large sporting goods retailer, and of course we discussed the current boom in gun sales. His company has most assuredly experienced the same dynamic, with many of their stores setting sales records.

A cursory glance at their shelves revealed a distinct lack of EBRs, an obvious shortage of autoloading handguns, and - most surprisingly - a dearth of revolvers. Ammo inventory was correspondingly low; where they usually have piles of ammunition stacked on the floor, they had only floor. In fact, the only thing they had in abundance were bolt action rifles.

Interesting. Significant? Time will tell.
