I went and got fingerprinted like a common criminal, and applied for my CCW permit today.  Afterwards I made the trek to Rudders gun service in Butner.  I spent all day there.  What other place do you know of that will just let you hang out and play with the toys all day?  I learned a lot, and gathered quite a bit of interesting hands on information.  Keep in mind I am a noob, so seeing things like a scoped .308 with two triggers is way cool to me.  I got to play with several trigger jobs and see how nice they were.  I ordered up a Glock 36, some Xpress big dot sights and Bill is going to hunt me down a nice pocket holster for it.  He really was quite busy today, but didn't mind my hanging around one bit.  He told us of a lot of neat stuff he saw at the shot show, future business plans, and some of the guns they were getting in.  They had a S&W M&P pistol, a 5" slide springfield armory .45, and a couple of really bad ass air guns.  One of which looks like a fully equipped beretta storm, with weapon light and scope!  He has several AR-15's to choose from also.  An A2 post ban 20" with green furniture, a bushy varminter, and at least 5 other 16" carbines in either A2 or A3 uppers.  He had an ak47 converted to .223 and an AR-15 that was 9mm.  At least one carbon 15 I think also, the 9mm may have been carbon too.  He had a little bit of everything it seems like.  It was a good time, and a good way to burn off an extra vacation day.
