Running various errands today took me into the vicinity

and therefore into the confines of three different gun stores. There were clients in each one, but nothing out of the ordinary - except one idiot who got turned down on the NICS check and said something about sending someone else to pick the gun up later in THEIR name, because after all it was for them anyway. Did pick up a brick of small rifle primers, $25. Had the projectiles, brass and powder but no sparking mechanism, that is now remedied. Saw a wide variety of black rifles, they did not seem to be generating any more interest than normal today. Deer season starts this weekend and most of the customers seemed to be focused on that. Saw some guns I've not seen before (surprise, surprise). Also, there was a wide variety of ammo on display at what seemed to be normal for post-2009 prices. It's just a matter of time until the rumor mill heats up and the shelves are bare again. Like a friend said, "It's past time to pick up Sturm, Ruger and Company stock."
