A Converts Story....
So my boss has a 15 year old son who has been BUGGING him to get him a gun so that he can take up shooting as a hobby...well my boss and his wife are (were) very against that and against guns in general, however knowing my love for the topic he asked if I would consider taking the two out to a range so that I can safely teach him about guns and guns saftey (he also offered $100 for ammo)...obviously I jumped at the opportunity. So yesterday we went to the SGL range in Dillsburg (Carlisle is still closed) and I brought the entire aresenal...AR's, AK's, SKS's, Nagant's, Rem 710, pistols and probably about 3000 rounds of ammo....by the end of the day both were SOOO into it that he asked if we could drive straight to a gun shop and "look" at some stuff....So I took them down to Trop's and after 15 min of looking they bought a DPMS AR15 M4 config with the A3 upper!! It was then that he took out a $100 bill to give me and I refused...so he bought me a SureFire X300 that he overheard me telling his son that I wanted and surprised me with it in the car...(bought it while I was looking for at ammo) So new gun lovers and a SureFire for me!!! All in all, I would say it was a GREAT day!

I love it when a plan comes together. Excellent outcome all around.
