June 3rd
Met up with my family at the Friendly's in Middletown yesterday for my brother's b-day. We spent a few hours there eating and hanging out. On one of my escort trips to take my kids to the bathroom, I got a double-take look of horror from an olderly lady. I just smiled and said, "Hello" as we walked by. No one else reacted the entire time we were there.
After that we stopped up at Cabela's. It was the wife and kids first time at the new one. We spent about an hour in there before they closed. My wife got to fondle a few pistols as we're actively looking for a carry piece for her. I asked one of the guys behind the counter for some assistance in choosing a smaller frame pistol that would fit her hand nicely. He wasn't very knowledgeable from my view. He was only picking out a couple based on the size and not the caliber(s) that I had specified. I'll have to make it a point to make a trip to Viper's next week... any excuse really to go there.
There weren't any spectacular deals on ammo. I picked up a couple of boxes of Herters ($19.99/50) to replace what my wife shot the weekend before last. Had a Cabela's staff guy ask me what 6.2 ammo was. Told him I wasn't familiar with it but that IIRC it was a rifle round. He said, "Well, I figured someone who carried might know." I told him I'd Google it if I had had my phone on me. We talked for a few minutes about the shortage of .22 and Russian surplus prices going up. Other than that just another non-issue trip.
