The show was a very good time, there were a lot of Cowboy action guns and stuff, quite a few vendors, but I am use to the recent Cal Expo shows so I am easily impressed
and the crowd wasn’t bad at all. There seemed to be a decent amount of ammunition with several different vendors, Miwall was sold out of small pistol primers by 11:30 am (someone else had predicted 12:00) and there were some decent deals on rifles, I cried when I had to put a early model Ruger M-77 in 300 Win Mag back because I didn’t have the $500.00 to buy it, and yes I would have gladly dealt with the transfer to California for that gun; I have been searching for it in 300 Win Mag for a LONG time
But not all of the day went so well, on the way home at 5:45 pm I passed 5 CHP and 4 unmarked vehicles with LE light packages on west bound I-80 about a half mile west of Kingvale with a lifted black Ford Superduty pulled over
There were at least two guys that appeared to be in custody and the officers in the process of doing a complete search of the vehicle right there in the chain control wide out, that means they were all but strip searching it
The back of the truck was packed with ammunition cans (with the white labels Miwall uses) and I could see several long guns on the hood because traffic had slowed to about 5 miles an hour to rubber neck! My heart just sank when my dad and I saw it, why would someone try and to out wit Johnnie law when it has been pretty well documented that the walls have ears at the show
