The very first Barrett .50 BMG:

The second one he made:


During one of the radio interviews that Ronnie Barrett did last week, he intimated that the second rifle actually worked, while the first rifle didn’t.
Speakers
Phil Valentine:

Steve Gill:

State Senator Doug Jackson (D-Dickson):

Nikki Goeser:

There were more speakers, but it was too darn cold for me to stick around.
And the most important sign of the day:

Got me three boxes @$22 ea.
One more thing: There were a couple of 20-somethings there that looked like they might have been with a college paper. Or they could have been with The Nashville Scene. You know how sometimes you can look at someone and go, “oh, there’s a hippie trying to not look like a hippie!”? I totally got that vibe from them. I saw them try to corner Ronnie Barrett to get an interview but he sent them to his PR guy.
Anyway my point is there’s probably a hit-piece coming this week, so watch for it.

And to double your dose of gun porn today… about a month back, I teased you with a close-up picture of… something. Dirtcrashr had a very close guess, but he missed on part of it. Today, you get the rest…

What do you have that eats .380?
I got a keltec P3AT about a year ago. It replaced a 2-shot .32 derringer.
Good trade.
A Buddy of mine carries a .410 Derringer. He keeps me scratching my head with that one…I keep telling him if he won’t at LEAST pack one of his J-Frames, at least put two .45 Colts in that little brick!
