Hmm I didn't know there were so many Brits here. Tell me-Was going to a gun store in TX after leaving the British Isle like the scene on Willy Wonka when the children entered the room where everything was made of candy?

Re: Non US Citizen w CHL buying a gun Q?
Most Brits to some extent or another have an inate concern about firearms. Even though I shot them often enough with the military in the UK I was much younger then. So my first trip to a gun store was tinged with a little apprehension. When something is drilled into you as a kid it's amazing how logic defying those emotions are.
Once I got past that feeling, and realized I wasn't gong to incur the wrath of big brother, gun store trips perhaps have special meaning. I can exercise a right, here in the land of the free (or at least freer than they are!) and enjoy it. I do!

I often dream that I've found a golden ticket to tour the Smith and Wesson factory and the tour guide opens the doors and sings:
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
guns and ammunition
