What a fantastic day! I too want to extend my sincere appreciation to the Rice family. Talk about gracious hosts! LMW and MrsLMW, esrice, and KR_Treefrog, went out of their way to make us all feel welcome and at home. It’s no stretch of imagination to say that they own a piece of heaven right here on earth. Deep appreciation also goes to the vendors who brought more “toys” for we noobs to play with then should be legally allowed by law…wait a sec…it was ALL legal!
I’m now seriously bitten by the NFA bug. No cure for the bite other than to give in to it completely. My first purchase will be a .22 suppressor. Using subsonic ammo they are Hollywood quiet. The action makes more noise than the round firing…wow. Even the SR1911 is considerably less noisy with the right can; I’m talking no ear protection quiet.
It’s not possible for me to pick a favorite NFA toy. The Thompson SMG, the “Grease gun”, the M16, AK, Armsel Striker, (thanks Dirtbiker for the .12 ga. ammo!), and all the silenced goodness was just great fun. I didn’t bring candy for the M1919 but watched it all day long. WOW, and I thought the Mosin was a flamethrower! I can’t imagine how it would feel to be pinned down on the receiving end of one of those.
The food was fabulous, and after a full day of slinging lead everyone was ready to eat! The ribs, chili, sides, and deserts were wonderful! T_Star’s Maple, Bacon, Beer cupcakes were the best cupcakes I’ve ever eaten! And the four dozen that she made and brought down didn’t last long at all. Seems I wasn’t the only one who liked them. I haven’t feasted like that since last Thanksgiving. If you left hungry then there was something very wrong with you.
Lastly as so many have mentioned it was great to be able to meet so many INGOers. I met so many INGO “family members” yesterday, and all are first class folks. I would honestly trust my back to any of them. I listened to a bunch of stories, told a few, and laughed a lot. I’ve known our newest member “Lawman” for a few years now and will say that he’s just one of us. He did have a great time yesterday. If all the counties in Indiana had a guy like Lawman on point we as a state would be so much better off. We’re very fortunate in BC to have this guy on point.
I hope to make it back again next year…as a NFA veteran!
