And then sometimes ya just know. I can't really explain that part other than they've got this way they handle the weapon. As if it's very unfamiliar to them.


Sometimes ya can't really tell, but a quick , "Hey. Whatcha got there?" even though I would know exactly what it was, will get a response that will tell you volumes..
I bet you also had a road side stand selling salt cured hams and when they drove away and the buyer was laughing at with his wife "we sure took that ole farmer" and you were laughing all the way to the cookie jar !

I had a ball tradin' guns and knives and such. It was a big game and the feller that knew his stuff came out on top most of the time, but not always!


I got myself burned a few times buying guns that didn't work right and when I was young, I leaned a few lessons the hard way gettin' burned by some old boys that had been at it fer a while! LOL
