mehulkamdarVisit to a US gunshop brought back old memories
On Sunday, my wife's boss took us to the Marshall Field's departmental store at Appleton and I had the opportunity to visit the Scheel's sporting good's store there. The gunshop reminded me of the old P Orr and Son's shop in my hometown (sadly now defunct) but what was simply astounding was the number of people there!

There were rifles aplenty from some valuable Dakota Arms and Weatherby custom ones locked up in showcases and everything else was on open display, with dozens of people trying different guns with the aim of buying them.
Coming form a country where anyone who even says that he likes guns or shooting gets looked at with suspicion, this was a heartwarming sign. I shall go there again to browse when I can next - yes, my American friends - you have a great country and are lucky to be able to enjoy it's freedoms.

Good hunting!

I hope you had a great time.
Did I mention anything before about someone that doesn't want to go home
You should visit the store with a video camera and show your Indian friends

Cheers
