Today I went with my wife, Equality, to Pasadena to go to the High Caliber gun Show. Before we went in a couple of Gentlemen were set up outside at a table, and offered us free tickets to the show if we would sign up for an NRA membership. Equality and I both signed up. Those that have been around here for a while know that I've been critical of the NRA because I believe they are often ineffective and quick to compromise. All in all, I do understand that they are the best voice we have so we are now members.
The show was interesting. Lots of Beef Jerky expensive knives, and T-shirts. Thee were Long guns in various conditions. And AJCs out of Clute. He had a impressive bunch of handguns, and they were reasonably priced.
There was one guy selling these little .380s Jimenez. The guns are made in Los Vegas and went for .380 They have a manual safety and 2 mags. They were selling for $180 sheesh. I'm already kicking myself for not buying one. Has anyone ever shot one of these things.
It was a fun day,

Re: My First Gun Show.
Congratulations on your first gun show and joining the NRA. I think it worked out much better for you than you think.Liberty wrote:Today I went with my wife, Equality, to Pasadena to go to the High Caliber gun Show.

You had a cheap lesson about impulse buying. I suggest searching the internet and reading some reviews of the Jimenez. If you had bought it, in a couple months, you would probably be kicking yourself for buying it.
