Yesturday morning, I went to a gun show in York, Pennsylvania. I made two fatal mistakes.
The first was I fooled myself into buying nothing other then Leather Lightening. The second was, I had a wallet full of cash.
When I got the show, there was a couple of guys asking people to sign petitions. The petition was for pro-gun representatives for Pennsylvania. A guy wearing a colonial hat asked me if I was a registered voter and I replied with a yes. So I signed the petition and headed into the show.
Upon entering the show, I saw the NRA table. Since I was already a member, I didn't think much about it and went on with my search for leather lightening.
I knew that First American Ordanance was going to be here. I found there booth and proceeded to ask Marty for two bottles of leather lightening. While he put two bottles on the table, I asked to look at a Mitch Rosen 5JR in mahogany for a full-size 1911. I tried it on and it molded to my hip. Next, I asked if he had a Rosen double mag holder in mahogany. Marty dug around and pulled up one for my 1911 mags. At that point, I reminded myself, "Just buy the Leather Lightening!!!"
Marty then showed me the Workman. It's an IWB holster that allows ya to tuck your shirt in. Very similiar to the pager pal except with higher quality leather.
Anyway, by the time I bought the 2 bottles of Leather Lightening, I walked out spending $375. I bought the 5JR, Workman, double mag holder, and two belts. Hey, I did get a free coffee cup from Marty!
At that point, I figured, hell I blew enough cash. I can walk around and "just" look. I stopped by a stand that had range bags. They had Hoppes bags on sale. So I bought one.
After I made my rounds, I ended up buying 3500 bullets, 5000 primers, 1000 .45 ACP brass, 8 lbs of Bullseye powder, Pearce grips, and a slice of pizza. Boy that pizza was expensive!
On my way out, I passed by the NRA stand. I thought to myself, "Hell, I just spent all this money. The NRA helps protect my rights to bear arms. I should at least give a donation. I popped a couple of bills into the jug and started talking to the old chap. He helped me convince myself into getting a life membership. With a new NRA ballcap and Life Sticker, I pushed the Dolly out the door with all my new toys a very very happy person. At least, until my girlfriend found out how much I spent but that's a different story.
