I am glad the shill brought the BUG and the antiques. No other modern weapons huh? I think Webb carried a 1911 and could have brought that if he came personally. As I recall, he filled out the NRA's survey in a way that would have merited an "A" rating -- had Chris Cox not lost the survey. I guess I may have mentioned at one point on OCDO way back then that Mr. Cox was also the head of Senator Allen's Sportsmen's Outreach. Allen, I believe, sent a paid operative as his spokesman to a different VCDL meeting who wasn't carrying any guns, didn't bring any with him, and advocated much the same things that Webb did on 2A related issues -- except for conservation. Allen was against that. BORING!
So I suppose Webb's guy could have just said that and then left,
and it would have also been pretty boring meeting. Why not liven it up with some classics? Haven't you noticed that some of the VCDL guys favor Colt percussion Armys as their primary carry? You would not want to be on the business end of one of those -- (even though I would prefer to be staring down that barrel of a Colt Army than one on a a Confederate LeMat). A BUG does seem kind of wimpy in comparison to what most people bring to VCDL meetings. But one does not feel too great a threat of being mugged at the Mason District government building with 50 or well armed guys on the premises-- not including the police. To demonstrate a deeper, more cosmic connection, I suppose the shill could have strapped a Patterson carbine to his back, or a Desert Eagle to his side. But then, in the circumstances, wouldn't that have been overkill?
I trust that by now you have recovered from any injuries you may have experienced from falling out of your chair. Is it too late to sue the guy? Sounds like it could have been pretty dangerous:I understand that some people have troubles with accidental discharges that way.
