What I Saw At The Austin Gun Show

Long lines. It took 40 minutes for my friends to get in at noon, and about 28 minutes for me at 1 PM.

Here’s my video of the line:

And the show itself? Pricing on modern sport rifles (AKA “the guns Democrats want to ban because they look scary”) were ridiculous, double or triple what the asking price was before liberals started their latest gun control push, and there wasn’t a great selection on Glocks (I’m looking at a 4″ 9mm Glock as a carry gun).

Honestly, the most tempting thing there was a Barrett .50 BMG rifle at $4,000, which is about list, but: A.) It was the single shot, and I was more interested in a carbine model, which he also had…for $12,000, and B.) I think I need to embark on a rigorous weight-lifting regime before buying a Barrett; those suckers are heavy!

So I bought the traditional item people of my tribe buy when they can’t find a gun to buy at the gun show: venison jerky.

    Wish I had known you would be there. I spent an hour in the line to get in.
