Scene: gun store interior, three men visible. Two are behind the counter, working on rifles, while one is poring over the holster rack directly opposite.
Gun Dude 1: Wow, we have a Norinco AND a Polytech in stock!
Gun Dude 2: You should buy both of them, add to your dream gun collection.
GD1: (Snort) I don’t want the original, much less Asian knockoffs.
GD2: Well, you could always build a semi-auto .45-70, take it bear hunting… (chuckles)
GD1: If I go bear hunting, I want something more substantial than a .45-70.
GD2: Like a Tomahawk cruise missile?
GD1: Yeah.
(Conversation turns to a female customer who hunts grizzlies in Alaska with a .300 Win Mag.)
GD2: Yeah, I think a .300 Win Mag is about the bear minimum…
Dixie: (Groans, puts face in hands.)
GD2: Hey, I had to do it.
GD1: Man, my kids would’ve loved that one…
And yes, I did pick up a new holster. Add in the new camera I just got in, and I’ll finally be able to complete the task I’ve been tagged to do since… 19 July.
