Tales from Tanner

This thread has so much potential...

[milwaukeeshaker]

Duh, of course! I just could not get the noggin to work. Thanks!

Curio and Relic-an item manufactured 50 years prior to the current date.

[Calculated]

Last time I went I saw a couple guys in their early twenties walking around, sporting their best goatees they could muster, not looking or buying anything, basically doing mall laps, with tactical vests on complete with knife strapped in and laced real tight, OD ripstop pants tucked into their swat boots and fingerless gloves on. At that point I knew I wasn't cool enough to keep going.

I did buy a Taser that day to taze a buddy that lost a bet to me.

In the good old days I used to get together with about 5 buddies and go for the morning and then do lunch. Sadly those days have been gone for quite a few years now. Miss the old Tanner shows and miss the buddies who are gone now.

I actually just got back. Like others said, not a lot there these days. All sorts of ar15 set ups and then C&R rifles. Oh and handguns and everywhere too. Buddy was looking for a semi auto .308 platform and we maybe only came across 6? All over priced too. Got a couple little things and it's fun to meander around but won't go back for a while.

They did do the national anthem and it's cool to see how quiet and respectful it gets in contrast to sporting event venues.

Remind me never to make a bet with you!

Story?

[cmailliard]

I went on Saturday, I go once a year just remind me why I don't go.

My Observations

• At least 10% of the people I walked past smelled of weed, bad
• $10 for a box of Federal XM193 = $0.50/Round (That morning I bought 1000 for $0.32/round with shipping)
• The ATF looked bored as hell
• The number of gang bangin' cocks with the pants around their ankles looking for this loophole thing was amazing

People are assholes and have the manners of a goat

• The guy who cannot walk in a straight line and whose eyes are drawn to everything shiny while wandering in circles
• The groups who walk down an entire aisle and refuse to show the slightest bit of courtesy
• The douchebags who talk in a group of 8 in a circle in the middle of the aisle - These people are either completely dumb to situational awareness or are fucking assholes
• I guess I am glad I don't frequent bars anymore, pretty sure I would kill someone if this type of behavior is normal now.

I haven't been since they went to a $6 door fee

[spqrzilla]

$6 entry? That was a while ago ...

I prefer gun shows where there is some interesting junk to look through. Not over priced LGS tables, pawn shops and stinky candle tables.

sorta sounds like a pueblo walmart...
