So I go to the Friends of NRA banquet Saturday night, and this time I go without my wife -- too long for her, too long to leave the kids alone.
Bob and Deb Cheek from PSS are running a 20-30 game. $20 a ticket, they sell 30 tickets, and they pull a ticket, and you get your choice of gun on the table.
So I see a handful of shotguns, a couple 22 rifles, a few Kel-Tec P3AT and a PF-9, a pink Taurus .380, and Ruger LCR and MarkIII 22/45 with checkered grips.
I figure there's something there for my wife and so I but a ticket. A few minutes later and they call my number over the PA.
I call my wife to ask her what she wants... and go over the options... we go back and forth for a few minutes... DEFINITELY NO PINK GUNS. Her final comment was, "get me something that won't cost a lot for ammo, so I can practice more."
So I picked the Ruger .22/45 with the nice checkered cocobolo grips.
Ruger 22/45 Bull Barrel Rimfire Pistol Model 10140
Later on after dinner, they walked around with a "Ladies Basket" full of pink smelly stuff and for 5 minutes they sold $20 tickets. The claimed value of the stuff in the basket was >$300... so what the heck.
Before they pulled a ticket, they unloaded the basket to show what was inside... at the bottom was a Charter Arms "Pink Lady" .38 Spl engraved with Friends of NRA Hendricks County 2011, so it is a "one of a kind".
Charter Pink Lady #53830
She's not sure if she going to like the pink gun or not.
Technically, it cost me more than $40
