So, I was standing there looking for ammo (which they didn’t have) and the guy next to me starts talking. “Aww! It’s all on sale, now, but I have enough ammo and I don’t need any!” Bad sign; I mean what kind of (so-and-so) doesn’t need more ammo?!!
Him; “What are you gettin’?”
Me; “I’m switching to 450 Bushmaster this year. It worked great in Wisconsin, so I’m pretty happy to leave the shotgun behind.”
“Yeah, I carried one of those a few years ago for a few walks! I never even shot it! I switched back to my trusty 12 gauge!”
(Wait. They’ve only been legal for a year...)
Him; “Yeah. They call me ‘One Shot Jim’! Hmm. Yep, they still call me ‘One Shot Jim’! ...been a long time since I shot a deer under 100 yards! I mean, I’m not braggin’ or nuthin...”
(Yeah, I noticed that.)
“Last year I shot a doe on the next hill-top over! I was on one hill-top and she was laying down on the other! I just shot the eight-point buck she was with- about 60 yards...”
(SO much wrong with this... Wait. I thought you just said...)
“...yeah, she was laying down! Hit her in the head! Don’t even know how far she was! Couldn’t even see her! Just covered her with the round of the top of the barrel and pulled the trigger. Hit her in the head. ‘S why they call me ‘One Shot Jim’ I guess.”
Me; (grabs a box of .45 acp for target shooting and runs down nearest aisle) “Ok, nice talkin’ to ya’”
