The gun dealer in Canon city who fed me some great :rolleyes: info last year is still in business.
He claims to be class 3, and can order you anything you like.
He, however, recommends against purchasing a silencer. You see, in his 30 years of army experience he has learned that a suppressor is better. In fact, you can make suppressor into a silencer (he notes he shouldn't tell you this) by opening it up and adding packing. That's neither here nor there though because the best suppressor is a potato, or a plastic bottle.
The mossberg night train apparently comes with your choice of suppressor or brake...and Mossberg purchased Barska specifically to build the 6-24x60 scope.(stress the 60X...as though it is 60x).
Standard cap AR mags still on the shelf.
If you want some entertainment, swing on by.

Well now, ain't that special.[Beer][Flower]
Sounds like the knife guy at the Army Surplus store off 36 and Pecos. He does classes on the side you know. Some of the guys he's trained have really seen some shit...[/longstare]
But did he make you a good deal on the potato silencer?
I have family out there. Don't know the gun shop though. In fact, quite literally, the only store I've EVER been to while down there has been a liquor store.

Finish your Mad Dog 20/20 and make a silencer out the plastic bottle. Two birds with one stone.

Is this the place that stinks of cigarette smoke? And they follow you (from behind the counter) as you go down the case looking at the different guns?

MD 20/20 should be in glass and it's only 13% now so hardly worth the time. :)

That guy is a total douchebag. I counted no less than 6 knives (visible)on him one day.
Basement dweller.
How long does the paperwork take on the potato?

Oh yeah. That is a sense of pride for him. You can walk in and say, "so how many knives today?" and he'll proudly tell you.

Get out of here! They could go to plastic a save the bums a few nickles per bottle. Though they would have done that years ago.

So which category does this guy fall under?
http://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/ci_27095843/canon-city-police-department-suspect-officer-stabbing-made
or the gun store that the guy robbed at knifepoint? [facepalm]

So where were we... talking about a gunshop. Sorry about my rant. I just *love* that county, so, so much.
I laughed a little too much at your list... but at least the county votes (R) [ROFL1]
He was shot 5 times from "4 to 6 feet away" and "He was shot twice in the left arm, once in the right arm, once in the abdomen and a bullet grazed across his chest"... sounds like someone needs some range time.

It's on main across from the pet store now.
Claims the perp who did the stabbing did a B&e on his place last week, but was scared off by the alarm without any loot.
His transfers are reasonably priced though.

For having just been stabbed, that seems like reasonable marksmanship.

I prefer the big Idaho russets to silence my rifles, but when I need to conceal the smaller yukon golds wok well. Sometimes just for variety I will use a red potato. [werdo]
PS. it sounds like as a public service to the rest of the state free condoms should be delivered door to door in Canon City

fingerlings work the best on a shotgun
Curly fries are actually the best choice as they twirl the sound away.

Okay that one really made me laugh.
Along with FOXTROT's list and synopsis of the news story. I went wheeling with a guy that was a guard down there, nice guy, but just a little crazy. :)

I jam the barrel into the lawn each time I cock it and it picks up a nice grass and dirt plug and makes the gun really quiet and it shoots the plug out the end and makes the bullet go in quieter too.

I have a concentric potato tap for 5/8-24 if anyone needs it.
How long does the paperwork take on the potato?
Dunno, but you get a better deal buying 10-lbs. at a time.

Of course, there is the exception to this list. There's charger - none of the above, there trying to fix hells bellybutton.
Ok, I've tried to get this out of my head all day- WTF does that even mean? I'm trying to figure out if it should be my new tagline, or if you're calling me lint [Beer]

Everybody in that town is like that. I think I only know one guy in that area that is a standup guy and he's a member here.
I think you could pick a random guy in Canon and they will be one of a few things (pick a letter).
A) Tinfoil mall ninja wanna be.
B) High end convict
C) Meth head
D) Some little old lady dating a 20yo.
E) Some 20yo dating a little old lady.
F) Someone that is just a little to friendly with their cousin.
G) Someone who used to be a woman who used to be a man.
H) A grown man who cries every 3 seconds for sympathy. Who may be a preacher.
I) A overweight pedophile.
J) An overweight mustached incestial pedophile.
K) A 350 pound army ranger (from COD)
L) A 350 pound prison guard who is like, in SWAT
M) A straw chewing coveralls hillbilly with a literal IQ of 42.
N) Another straw chewing hillbilly that thinks the one with an IQ of 42 is the smartest man on the planet.
O) Some skinny b#$#h that keeps popping out kids from different men for the welfare check.
P) Some overweight b#$#h that keeps popping out kids for the child support check.
Q) Some haggled bedraggled former whore looking for the next guy to gold dig.
R) Some old hillbilly fart that thinks the bedraggled whore is fine shit.
S) Some officer taking money and sexual favors under the table.
T) Some guy in one of canon cities highest paid positions (equivalent to a Wendy's salary in Denver area) giving and receiving reach arounds.
U) You know the police officer on southpark? Yeah, that guy. But he reproduced, with his cousin.
V) A conartist passing themselves off as a preacher.
W) Roving packs of wild children with the same mother, but multiple fathers.
X) 15year old girls dating 58 year old guys.
Y) Mothers who try to hook up their 15 year old girls with 58 year old guys.
Z) The unibomber - to find intelligence in this county, you have to go to the supermax.
This list has some level of creativity, but mostly all of these are real people I know over there. Fremont county has more prisons than any other county in the US, and more than 50% of their workforce is employed as prison guards. In all reality, it is the true cesspool of a very wide area.
Of course, there is the exception to this list. There's charger - none of the above, there trying to fix hells bellybutton.
So where were we... talking about a gunshop. Sorry about my rant. I just *love* that county, so, so much.
I forgot to say this before but I vote for this as post of the year 2014 [ROFL2]

I was recently reminded of this post... somebody mentioned that at least the county had most of the Democrats in jail already... [facepalm][ROFL2][ROFL3][LOL][Beer][Coffee]
doesn't seem to help the corruption, tho.

I've actually been mentally compiling my own list, based on personal experiences and those of my family:
1) Someone convicted of scamming his grandmother out of $1000s... and still doing the same while on probation (with other people's grandma's)
2) DOC employees and guests busted on DOC property with cell phones (contraband inside property)
3) a 17yo girl emancipated & living with her grandmother and getting pot directly from her 22yo boyfriend (not know if it's legal source, likely not)
4) at least 2 people managing crappy fast food restaurant that commute from Colorado Springs, because company can't find someone trustworthy within county
5) A son (18-19yo) of a DOC employee that is offering to by sex toys for a 16yo over text messages, while dating someone else.
6) licensed HVAC company saying they fixed something- but when confronted they didn't... said "well it was cramped under that mobile"
Just what I can think of off the top of my head, and the tip of the iceberg... sometimes I think I really just need to move.
I feel like you could find that same list about 50x over in any larger city. Hell, you could find that list in a single family if it gets big enough.
