Headed out to the 14 acres of gun stuff today. The last time I attended was Dallas, in the '90's. Bring your walking shoes.

NRA & Acres Of Gun Stuff
You will be tired after your day but please share some of the day's Highlights. My one & only time attending the annual NRA Meeting was in Charlotte, N.C., 2010 I believe, I met some of the nicest S&WCA Members who were representing our association, make sure you stop by the S&WCA Display in Atlanta and then come on to the Symposium in Concord, N.C. in June.

I had a nice conversation with Richard Nahas and met 3 Delta operators, and I don't mean Delta Airlines. I am tired so I'll continue later. It was amazing though.
In the late 70's I made several trips to the Atlanta Underground which housed some of the best saloons in the country.
Gettin' misty eyed just thinking about them.

Mr. Nahas had his collection of Air Crewman revolvers and a couple of beautiful Model 53's, plus some other fine S&W's. The Colt Collectors had Python # 80 and 81 on display. Got a couple post cards with their picture on them.
My friend from new Zealand came by for a little reunion. He is involved with the reenactment group pictured below. They also do Vietnam reenactments featuring ANZAC, the joint Aussie, NZ soldiers.
Last year I acquired a very early Aimpoint Electronic red dot that was installed on an SP-1. The semi-obsolete batteries have been hard to ID/buy but Mr. Cooper, Director of Marketing and Communication told what/where to get the proper batteries AND if it didn't work just send it to him for repair, if it is repairable. That was a big one for me.
The former special ops guys were selling some great small batch whiskey and fine cigars. I know, nothing to do with guns, but who's going to tell them the can't be there.
I did not get to see every thing yesterday. There is no way you could see it all in one day, but this old man does not have the legs and feet to do this Sunday. Maybe, with more coffee a more Tylenol I might make another run down town. There are a couple group photos that haven't showed up in my inbox yet.
