I’ve posted before a few times regarding my firearms addiction, and the resulting Jones from chronic unfulfillment.
My favorite gun store is no longer part of my occasional travels, in part as walking and standing are difficult, but also because there are numerous toys therein, none of which I can afford.
The analogy might be made to the man who attends a strip club, then goes home alone, or a doughnut shop-not buying anything, and goes home to his diet.
But, a pending gunfest is looming out there. The Crossroads of the West Gun Show is this next weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
This is the BIG annual, pre-Christmas show at the Arizona State Fairgrounds. Multiple buildings and tented areas in-between. Machine guns! State Fair-type foodstuffs!
The last time I went was three years ago, and during my attendance began having some shortness of breath. This was the beginning what ultimately became my hospitalization and successful treatment for lymphoma.
I used to go to gun stores and gun shows often. That Crossroads show was the last I attended.
I’m really hoping my pain level is manageable enough to walk the show this year.
Even though I won’t be able to buy anything to placate my Jones.
I hope you can go and enjoy it anyway.

Posted by Tango Juliet | November 29, 2011, 8:45 amThanks, men! I hope to be able to go and enjoy myself.It was originally be a triumvirate, my ex/gf, and another good friend. But the good friend bailed, having to work, and all. And the ex-gf has asthma, so, I suspect we'll be keeping each other aloft! I'll report back – I'm certain it will be a ZOO, as all pre-Christmas gun shows are…

Posted by BobG | November 29, 2011, 4:40 pmEnjoy, and be prepared for HIGH prices… Just talked to a friend that was at Dallas last weekend, prices ridiculous, and nobody buying.
Posted by Old NFO | November 29, 2011, 5:12 pm@Old NFO – I hope to. It'll be interesting to see, regardless of price.
