Today at the NRA Gun Show


Yesterday and today, the South Florida Fairgrounds had its monthly gun show. I expected a record crowd today because of the anniversary date of 9/11. The place was mobbed.

Randy, Katie and I had an opportunity to meet with local and out-of-state firearm dealers to inspect and buy a variety of weapons like AR-15s, handguns, rifles, shotguns, holsters ammo and accessories. Vendors also sold a plethora of ammunition, tactical gear, scopes and other firearm accessories for every type of buyer. I never saw so many knives in my life, Mace, and other protections. What was really frightening was to learn that anyone can enter my home with ease even if I have it dead-bolted. No one is safe.

We learned that there are a few more firearm stores that have opened, one in Pompano. Guns and Range Training Center on Clare avenue in West Palm Beach has a concealed carry license course for all you enthusiasts.

I was surprised to see a table set up promoting Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president. One of the guys at his table explained that Gary was for guns and against war. I asked him what Gary Johnson would do about ISIS attacking us or an ally. The only other political table inside was the Tea-Party's. The Trump truck was there and Katie picked up some Trump signs. As we were leaving, Paul Spain's RV was out front handing out literature. Paul was chatting with the folks. He is running against Lois Frankel.
