"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Despite being a nonsmoker, I fully agree with the tee shirt that states:
"Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a federal agency."
In the little semi-town of Gorst, between Bremerton and Port Orchard (okay, so you'll just have to take my word for it it exists) there is a gun shop (where I bought by Swiss K31, in fact) right next a tobacco shop. I think of that short every time I drive past (yes, the tobacco shop does sell beer).
Boerner Firearms, just after you turn down 3 towards Belfair. When I got my K31 they also had a Galil in 5.56 that strongly tempted me.
In fact, sometimes I think of it and regret not picking it up. I think having an Israeli combat rifle would be about as cool as having a Swiss one.
About twelve years back I got my Webley there, too. I like having a handgun that links me, however tenuously, with the likes of Robert Graves and Sigfried Sassoon and T.E. Lawrence and George McDonald Fraser. If I ever get a broomhandle Mauser I'm claiming kinship with Winston Churchill and Han Solo.
Nice to know that a major Federal law enforcement agency is so transparent.

As transparent as a day in Beijing.

I've driven that stretch of road, Steve, and know of where you speak.
ReplyDeleteBut I never stopped there, not knowing was is there. Now I'll have to!
