Spent a neat afternoon at PistolsPlus in St. Charles ...

... a Frank O. Pinion KTRS show sponsor.  Reduced my personal inventory a bit, picked up a new HD piece (The Judge Public Defender, at left) and chatted with two knowledgeable gun guys, Jordan and Mike, about all manner of things under the sun, including current military service and the math about why the Navy's new rail gun may not be so big a deal after all.  Not all gun shops are created equal, nor are their employees.  Not too many folks I know can convert fps to mph and then divide by the speed of sound.  Mike can and he understands the variances of velocity.

Plus we all agreed that the Kevin Bacon movie Tremors was one of our favorites, especially Reba McEntire's "rumpus room."  I was happy to call them when I got home and alert them to the fact that the movie was on AMC at 5PM yesterday afternoon.

If you're looking for shooting info or supplies, I heartily suggest PistolsPlus, next to Hackmann's Do-It Center off Highway 94 in St. Charles.
