Re: CHIT-CHAT Zone
I suppose we are officially past the Christmas season so I can post this about Christmas, American and our guns. Well, in the USA apparently a gun is the perfect gift. In December there were more than 1.5 million gun purchase background checks. Almost half a million were in the week before Christmas and 102,222 were processed on December 23. Now, consider that in the United States you do not need a background check to purchase a gun if you hold a concealed carry permit (of which there are almost a million of us).

Boy, that makes deciding what to pack for a USA vacation difficult. How do you choose what clothes to bring? Certainly you pack for the season but you also have to decide if your gun will match your sweater or if that pistol makes you look fat. Does stainless steel or blued go better with gray wool? Do these rosewood grips bring out the blue in my eyes? Hmm we're going out for a nice dinner. Should I carry the round nose or hollow point bullets? Well, if you have to ask you're obviously a tourist.
