Here I am, sitting in a hotel room in Las Vegas at 0630 (give or take a minute or two).  The flight out was exceptional as I had the pleasure of sitting next to an Army Colonel with Special Forces command experience.  I HOPE I held up my half of the conversation about our military community and current events with some degree of coherence.  Truth be told, after talking with this man for about two hours I felt somewhat like my life experience was limited and my education was sorely lacking.  Mark, thank you for making the first leg of my journey so pleasant.

Last evening I enjoyed dinner with several great names in the gun writing industry.  Gentlemen like Ralph Mroz, Wiley Clapp, Al Garcia, Kevin Davis, Walt Rauch and more.  It’s always enjoyable, and I take it as a great compliment, to be able to enjoy a meal with such folks (and then stir the bucket a little).

The SHOT Show floor opens in about two hours.  I’ll be walking A LOT.  I’ll try to post updates at least once each day but possibly as much as two or three times.  Circumstances permitting I’ll put up pictures of the truly cool new stuff I find.

Stand by for further…
