Hard Cold Guns

I recently spent a weekend at a gun show in Kentucky. There were all kinds of interesting sights to be seen. The particular show was an 'antique arms' show in addition to a run-of-the-mill gun show. That means that there were a lot of old guns plus a bunch of people who like old guns. Some of these people feel the need to dress up in attire that apparently relates to old guns. I could never really figure the whole thing out, but I did get a few interesting photos. Not the least of which was this woman in blue. She stood in front of my husband's table for quite awhile inspecting and admiring his display while I discreetly snapped a couple of photos. Wish I could have snapped a few more, but short of stopping someone and asking them to pose for you, it was a little difficult to take pictures in the crowded, narrow aisles.



There are so many guns you wonder how it could possibly be legal. Tables upon tables of guns. Big guns, small guns, old guns, new guns, even some red guns and blue guns.
Most of the people who go to these shows take their guns very seriously. Lots of wheeling and dealing going on. Also lots and lots of cash. Guns are bought, sold, and exchanged. Men pull out huge wads of 100 dollar bills, meticulously counting off the exact number, then stuffing the remains into a pant pocket, brief case or cloth bag. I imagine they wonder why we don't have $500 and $1000 bills. Would certainly make their life easier on gun show day. You don't see many checks exchanging hands, just hard, cold cash. Guess it goes well with the hard, cold guns.
