Title: A couple of SHOT Show pics
Post by: chameleon on January 23, 2011, 02:03:57 PM

I was checking out one booth after another, lots of walking, over 1600 of them over 630,000 square feet of space and banging into over 57,000 people!

I came across Gunbroker.com and I tried my luck on their onearm bandit and won the top prize that  they award.
Here is the One arm bandit and the 1/24 scale Gunbroker Racing truck I won and it is autographed by the driver.

It's great you won the truck, would have nicer if it had been the top prize on the casino slots. ;D
Good pics Art.

That safe was a hit of the show!  It holds over 300 guns.  Wow.

I also liked that SWAT truck.  Bulletproof with gun ports and all manner of high tech gear.  About $400,000 as equipped -- but only $200,000 base.

I bet it would be fun to drive the kids to school in that tank!

Great photographs, Art, and congratulations on winning Gunbroker.com's prize scale-model truck!

With regard to "The Great Yellow Safe," it occurs to me that it would have enough room to serve two purposes: (1) allowing a man to store his 300 favorite guns securely during his lifetime; and (2) permitting him to be laid to rest in there along with his 300 favorite guns when he finally shuffled off the mortal coil. That would not only eliminate the need to include the cost of a coffin in his "final expenses" but also finally disprove the old maxim, "You can't take them with you." (Assuming, of course, that enough pallbearers could be found to carry the thing.)   ;)
