Odds N’ Ends
Had dinner and a couple beers at a local bar. Since neither driving slightly inebriated or taking a cab appealed to me I decided to hang out drinking water and reading till the booze wore off. I am currently reading Ghost Wars:The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001. I got halfway into this book way back in IBOLC but it lost my interest. These days I am a lot better informed on Afghanistan and the players involved, through research and personal experience, and am probably more patient so it’s a bit easier to get through.
On the plus side guns are becoming more available. The local shop has a variety of evil black rifles and semi automatic pistols. They are also doing pretty well on mags. A variety of AR mags including PMAGs at $22ish were present. They had limited pistol mags, I think mostly various Ruger and XD mags plus a few Glock 19 mags at $32ish.
Ammo is trickling into the shops and flying out. A lot of guys are showing up at Wally World early in the morning. The local shop sold 7k in .223 in 2 days with a 3 box per customer limit. Some to meet their own needs and some to resell at stupid prices. Personally I’m semi actively looking and buying when prices are right.
As summer hits here we are seeing consistent temps in the 80′s. My little .38 J frame is definitely earning its keep. The G19 is really only viable for open carry these days. However given that it I’m in Arizona that option is legally on the table and socially acceptable to boot. Sort of depends on my mood and the risk of a given venture. Since I’m much more of a grocery store at 4pm than an ATM at 3AM kind of guy the risk is usually pretty low.
In writing this rambling, I’m too lazy to do something serious post I realized that a month ago I wrote basically the same thing. Big fun.
