A snake in my gun safe

[Vol Texan]

My wife rocks. That's all I've got to say about that.

We went to the gun show at the George R. Brown Convention center yesterday, and she set her sights on this awesome Colt Python for me. It has a 4" barrel, built in 1976, and still tight as a drum. I'm going to have to go buy some new ammo today and give her a test drive.



I might have to update my posting here to reflect another choice: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=74645&hilit=+python#p940068.. Sure, I'd been jonesing for a nickel-plated one, but this one will do just fine.

As a side note, I noticed NO 30.06 sign going into the gun show this time (it's been a while since I've been there, and it was posted last time I went). I walked in, looking around carefully. The police officer behind the counter welcomed me to his table, and asked what I was looking or. I told him, "I'm looking for a 30.06 sign - I don't want to break any laws, and I'll exit right away if I can find one."

He told me that if I plan to keep it concealed the whole time, then there was no need to disarm. That's a refreshing change of circumstances from the last time I was there...glad to see that!

I hope no one comes down with a case of the stupids and screws it up.

Congratulations! Do you think that your wife would mind talking to my wife?

Your subject line got my attention. I have one just like it in my safe. Too bad they don't reproduce!

I fell for it to.

When I was growing up my uncle had horses. One time when I was about 8 he told me to go to a closet like thing with hay bales in it, grab the top bale and jerk it out and jump out of the way. That was because his two Shetland stallions were pretty rambunctious as they came running in for feeding time and he didn't want me to be run over. Well, I go do as he says and I have no clue what typical 8 year old boy thing I was doing, probably fighting pirates or dragons or something, as I opened it and reached for the top bale. When I did look up where I was reaching my hand was a few inches from the top bale and the HUGE snake atop the bale. I yelled for my uncle who disposed of the snake and we finished feeding the horses. Turns out it was a 3-4 foot long chicken snake so there was minimal danger, just a good scare. I wondered how a snake could get in a gun safe unless maybe through an opening for an electric cord to pass through or some foreign spy agency with an agenda.
