Rant #1... Retail Gun store inventory

Ha! He’s behind the lines in communist Delaware. Being a Texas Citizen, I can’t even buy a long gun there. If I buy a gun off the Sale board here, I have to have it shipped to Texas!

Here in Delaware, they only adhere to the parts of the U.S. Constitution and laws they like. It's basically a quasi anarchy state.

That description fits in many States anymore, and the list is growing.

Problem is, the urban areas carry enough clout to make the policy for the entire State.

Sooner or later, that situation will 'come to a head'.

Some of the big gun shows are still worth going to, that being said they aren’t what they use to be. I still go to “Crossroads of the west”, still find a few gems but I miss the old gun shows which were always a delight. Especially if you went early or made last minute offers closing time of the last day.

For all the evils of the internet one thing it is good for is a plethora of firearms shopping, lots of used and vintage firearms. I can waste a Saturday morning browsing sites looking for firearms ive been interested in finding for decades and find some at a decent price now and again. I’d rather walk a gun show or browse the local Mom and Pop shop but it just isn’t what used to be. There are two local shops I visit on a regular basis that move a fair amount of used guns and both stock a good amount of reloading gear and components but there’s no way they can stock what you can find on one site on the net. Sad but true. I truly miss the old the gun stores of the 70s and 80s.
