Gas Price Made Me Want to Buy Ammo

#1

Post by oljames3 »

I drove by a gas station today having a price for gas of two dollars and twenty-three cents.

2.23

Made me want to by ammo for the AR-15 I don't have.

In much of Europe you might go for 7.62

Took me a minute.

Long day, up early for a shotgun competition.

But, I got it, :roll:

Funny. I always think of my deer hunting rifle when I see a 30.06 sign.

How do you get this far in life and not have an AR15? Is it because you were an artillery man, and after that an AR just isn’t big enough? "rlol"

I saw gas at 4.54 in California a couple of weeks ago. And If you ever find yourself in Paso Robles, be sure and visit the Hogue Pro Shop there.
