The Moment I Knew I Wasn’t in NY Anymore...

[Paxal]

Traveling. Pulled up to a gas station to fill up. Went inside to pay. The old woman behind the counter was talking to a younger woman and trying to help her make a decision about something. As soon as they saw me, the younger woman turns to me and askes me; “Which shotgun shells should I get?,” as she offered up two different boxes of shells for me to review. It took me a minute to process what was going on, as I was in a gas station/convenience store. I took a quick look around and saw an old meat cooler filled top to bottom with ammo of all kinds and arrayed along the top, gun accessories and some big ass hunting knives for good measure. My head stopped spinning and I helped her decide which shells she should buy. I paid for my gas and went back to the car, and told my better half, “We are definitely NOT in New York anymore!”

It’s amazing how life is lived in free states.

Merry Christmas!

Our local Ace Hardware store has a good assortment of guns and a better assortment of ammo.

Yep, you notice this going down south. On my yearly FL trip I can TELL when I am below the M/D line. People are far nicer too.

Yep, our local "True Value" hardware has a full gun section. Long guns, handguns, accessories, and ammo.
It sure is GREAT being an American, living in Free America!

FWIW thruway shopping center has a full complement of guns and ammo as well. They are a true value store.

the selection is so nice because of the huge buying power of all this TV stores.

They have been in business for the 35+ years i have been here.
