Shots Across The Bow

I Met a Celebrity!

I was coming back from Chattanooga and I decided to stop off in West Knoxville at Coal Creek Armory to look at getting neat stuff for my Ruger 10/22. I want to make it look like it's really nasty and scary, instead of a harmless little plinker.

Anyway, when I went in, I talked to a couple of the people there, including the famous Tam herself. We talked for a few minutes about people we both knew from shooting and blogging. (It's amazing how often the two activities are linked, a fact which would be vaguely alarming if I weren't a part of it.) But it wasn't until after I left the store that I realized that I knew her from somewhere else.

The memory was kind of hazy, and I couldn't really be positive if it was her or not, because I was understandably excited at the time, but I'm pretty sure I lost my virginity to her a few years back.

Yep, I think Tam sold me my very first gun. It was at a gun shop on Broadway, and I bought a Walther P22, some ammo, and a cleaning kit.
