The shooting spree at the elementary school in Connecticut took place after I attended the Gun and Knife Show. I enjoyed the trade show. Where else can you be surrounded by guns and feel completely safe?
The admission was $7. If you had a weapon, then you entered one way. If you did not have a weapon, then you entered through a separate door. All the guns had to have their barrels locked/anchored. There were plenty of police around. A nice flow of traffic came and went. All ages from 8 to probably 80 came through.
The show offered tasers, coins, survival food kits, books, knives, antiques, and a variety of guns. From "pretty pink" to "mililary looking black. " The Glocks were the lightest weight guns. All the rest, from the Beretta to the Smith and Wesson were very heavy. I had no idea how heavy the guns are. Two hands are needed to pick up some of the guns, and two feet anchored are needed to hold some of them steady. I have a whole new respect for gun fights in the movies.
I found out the gun permit application cost $5 US dollars to get started with the background check.
Would I go to another "Gun and Knife Show?" You bet! It was fun!
