Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)-
The Industry Day at the Range is only open to media by invitation. I have been fortunate to be able to attend the last three or four.  It seemed that attendance was down a bit this year from last.

The weather was nicer last year, warmer, but both years had a bit of a breeze.

It is always interesting to see the latest tech that is being offered.  I have found that taking the shuttle bus from the Palazzo is worth while.  Parking is limited at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club, which generously allows use of its facilities for the Industry Day at the Range.  There were several hundred attendees, but I did not do a count.

I bumped into Dave Workman, always a pleasure, and Brian Johnson from Ammoland in line, waiting for the shuttle.  Right behind us was a group of three Canadian media people who had to go through a few hoops because they were digitally oriented. That is, all their “paperwork” was digital. Fortunately, one of them had brought a business card.  The Shot Show is serious about who is allowed at their events.

I got into  a friendly conversation with the Canadians.  In my attempt to aid international relations, I allowed as how Prime Minister Trudeau must have some redeeming qualities.  I mentioned that he was generous to a fault; the Canadians noted that it was with other people’s money. I mentioned that he was considered attractive; they countered that the women’s vote was the only reason he was in office.

At least he left his bullwhip at home.

Not entirely unexpected.

With Trump's win comes a certain amount of complacency among some gun owners.
