  1. Here’s an interesting anecdote about RKBA tourism.

    Once I was visiting the excellent gun shop of First Stop in Rapid City,SD.

    The establishment has a whole skew of rifles adorning the walls, a sight quite shocking to someone not prepared for it.Like a couple of Mt Rushmore tourists.

    So, as me and some other gentlemen of the gun are browsing the handgun case, the lady of the couple stammers out “….the rifles…..what kind of background check do you need to buy one?”

    ‘5 minutes ,FBI instant check’.
    Says the nonplussed counter jockey.

    “Ohmigawd, you mean there’s no WAITING PERIOD.!!!” blurts out the 5′ nothing balding man next to her.

    ‘Nope’

    “But but,there’s permits for handguns right?”

    “Where are you from?” Asks the grey haired dealer.

    “Were from New Jersey,where we dont just let anyone carry handguns like the wild west”

    No he didn’t.

    The rest of us patrons are ready to break out laughing.The dealer then,evenly, states that not only were handguns NOT regulated,but that every single man around them was discreetly armed.

    —–cue hard stares from myself and the ad hoc group of shoppers——

    “Uhh,honey letssss go!”

    She’s not ready just yet.
    “So, can I see that AK-is that what it’s called?—”

    ‘WE ARE LEAVING this BarBariC place!!!”

    —-ding ding——

    beat.

    HaHaHaHahA…..all of us there had a collective stitch fest in the gun shop.
    Good times.I asked the clerk how often that happened .

    “O, twice a week once tourist season begins.The California visitors always crack me up”.
