At the Gun & Knife Show

I'd heard about the surge in gun sales, spurred by fears that a Democrat-dominated government will place new restrictions on gun. I just saw it in person at the Fort Wayne Gun & Knife Show.

I collect bayonets, which is why I go. Picked up a Peruvian Model 1909 bayonet, with a long, slender blade. Most of these were made for the German army (the model 1898, including a wicked sawtooth edition), but the Germans made a version for Peru, too. And now I have one. Beautiful bayonet, which I proudly made room for in my bayonet case.

But back to guns. As I entered the coliseum exhibition hall, I immediately realized this was the largest crowd I'd ever seen. Really thick, especially around the gun sellers. Lots of camo outfits.

I eavesdropped on a couple guys talking about the handguns they carry day-to-day. They switch between guns, depending on the day, where they're going, and what they're wearing.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
My posts stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense. But the continuing thread is serving God faithfully through the local church.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
