Get on the Plane, Get off the Plane – Part 9
It’s getting late & I’m drunk. Before I go to bed/pass out on my hotel room floor I suspect I will get a whole lot drunker. I am drunk just because. I have about 36 hours left to do in San Francisco before the penultimate leg of this trip commences. As the company’s balance sheet sinks into the waters of the bay as I proceed to methodically drain the mini-bar
here is a little game that you can play called Monday Supper Time Fun
Have supper (alone). Go to the sort of place where a steak, 2 glasses of admittedly very decent red wine & a double espresso costs US$ 100. Eat at the bar & ensure that to your left are couple of meeejar types & to your right is some bloke from New York who seems more concerned with waving his Rolex about than holding a knife & fork correctly.
Sit down at said bar & read May/June’s edition of American Handgunner while you eat your supper. Enjoy the spectacle of other customers try to surreptitiously edge away from you during the course of said meal!

A copy of Shotgun News works even better.

I'm not ignoring you, I'm reloading.
Years ago at the dawn of the Age of Thatcher, I spent Christmas in London with a girlfriend. We had been to the theater and hit "last call" at a pub before taking the tube back to her apartment. We boarded at Piccadilly, and the train was packed except for an area in the front of the car. There sat a gentelman immaculately dressed for his job in the
City - dark suit, white shirt, school tie, tightly furled umbrella - calmly reading the Financial Times. Next to him was an empty seat, and around him was a clear space of about a yard. He was wearing full war paint like a Sioux Indian.

Shotgun News is no good -- it just looks like a newspaper.
Handgunner has great big huge color pictures of eeeevil handguns. Perfect for clearing space around one in GFW countries.
Of course, in Texas, one would get a couple of old boys looking over one's shoulder, with trenchant comments of "Had one of 'em thangs -- broke after only 10,000 rounds."

Whats the handgunner have to say about the Para Ordanance P14 pistol. Models S1445 Limited and PXT P1445 Gun Rights to be precise.
One of my aquaintances sings the praises of pistol clubs constantly and I'm thinking abou toging along some sunday soon tot he local pistol range. If the bug hits I may well end up with one of the two mentioned, or with a H&K USP in .45
And knowing my propensity to get caught up in enthusiasm with a new hobby and buy kit left right and centre... I probably will. :( so much for the new financial year budget :P

A newspaper covered with gun adverts.
"J and G sales: Romanian AK-47: $379.95 !"
