I ordered my CMP Garand last week and bought an IAI M1 Carbine at a gun show yesterday. So it's not the 9th, but I've done my part.
I was looking at the M1 at the gun show, said "no, I'll be good" and walked away. Halfway to the door, I though to myself, "I spent $2 for the bridge toll, $7 to park and $8 to get in. No way am I going to waste that money and not have anything to show for it!" [:D]
