Gun Shoppe
A small town in central ND has a little old-style gun shop called Spooners. Reminds me of my youth ( many years ago). It's wonderful; Heavy odor of Hoppes, cigars,and strong coffee. Old boys always hangin out at the folding-style corner card table scanning old and new issues of NRA, American Handgunner, and Guns and Ammo. Storefront windows plastered with old decals, and a faded "flip-flop" OPEN/CLOSED sign. The place is small, quite un-organized ( but it's like a lawyers desk-Spoony knows where everything is). Handgun cases stuffed with all make and manner of guns, old peg-style long gun racks overflowing with rifles, shot-guns, etc. and pigeon holes crammed with re-loading components, bullets, etc. And Spoony wearing his ( must be 50 year old) leather apron. You old guys get the picture
When I visit that small town, I stop in for at least a couple hours, and share some Ding-Dongs and "coffee" and stories with him and the other old-timers
Delightful
