well,,,

My thoughts and observations,,,,,

when Pam started talking about Hunting with her Dad, I got hearing loss...
the 2 A is Not about Hunting!!!

I noted with interest everyone that had a gun slung on their shoulder,, i made a point of chatting them up...

a guy with a very nice mauser on his back had it closed and cocked,
i admired his gun, and said, I un cock my mauser when it was unloaded,
he just smiled,,,, and i didnt ask anymore questions, but
i would have preferred he would have used the safety, so maybe,,, maybe not!

I saw a guy come in with a slung shotgun, and went to say Hi.
I ask him what he was carrying, and as fast as I asked, He started to unsling so to show it to me,,,, quick I showed my palms, and said quickly, no no no dont take it off or handle it,,, so he put it back, as I told him,, i just like to look and talk about the guns,.

a young son, walking with his dad had an evil black, orange tip, airsoft gun, but he carried, out front, low ready, and couldnt keep his hands off the grip,, but i cant fault him, maybe its his first 2A rally!!

my young friend with a new AR-15, muzzle down, mag in, i ask, wheres your cartridges?
he smiled,, just said,,, where they belong! good enough for me!!

some folks asked me if my muzzle loader was loaded? I just smiled, then told them they could check if my nipple was capped, (it wasnt), then i showed them my pre loaded paper cartushes.

One unfortunate older guy was there with a cowboy rig, but had a problem with his
carry,,
Last i saw of him,,, he was walking away from the gathering and past the fountain,,,
his hand reaching down and gripping the gun and holster and his pants,
it seemed his clothes were falling down, and he was trying to get to his car
before it got any worse, it was kind of sad, wish i could of helped!

diddler speached for awhile, but i tuned him out when he went from 2A to right to life,,
we didnt put on this rally to speachify about all the other things,, just like Pam!!

And It has been determined,,, my flags were just a little taller than my friend 45acpaddy,,, but he had, semiauto capabilities, but i had bigger bullets!

after the rally me and friends went for pics during a visit to the capital,
me, gogodawgs, 45acpaddy, greenisfaster, sirpuma, spidertatoo, suddenvallygunner, arik45xd(Oh who did i miss)(who did i misspell)
went to the governors office for pics, and the capital is fantastic!!!

met tony d tiger as i left.
