May I 'shoot' this to the top? Pun intended.

I second it on the speakers ---exceptional. I also liked the opening readings from different SAS State Co-Ordinators --who read news accounts of instances where the use of a gun thwarted or ended an attack.

Something funny -- I bought a ball point pen - in the shape of a big bullet - at the SAS goods table. (guage anyone?). The actual shell is real, but it is only a pen. When I went to the parking garage at the Reagan building, I had to pass thru security. Before I put my bags on the moving belt, I stopped and pulled out my 'bullet' to show them. I told them I didn't want it to show up on the x-ray and cause an incident. They were curious, but allowed it thru. I guess I didn't look like a gun-totin'moll! LOL!

Actually, one of the security guards was more concerned about my carrying my poster/sign. He said that posters weren't allowed in the building. I told him that I had spoken to him earlier in the building when I was trying to find which door to go in and out of - and I had the poster then. He hadn't noticed it, he said. I also told him that I was simply going to my car - nowhere else, --so he let me through. It is too bad that it has to be this way, but the 3 guards acted very professional, and were very alert.

It's a .50 cal shell. And thanks for buying one for my daughter. I liked it so much I bought one for me, one for daughter's girlfriend and one for GunsareOK.

For other folks who are interested, I was told that they can be ordered from the SAS website. (I haven't checked, I'm off to sleep for now)

Exit, it's always a joy to visit with you, but we never seem to have enough time...

Until next time, sister!
