Re: CA: No place but California

Back when I was a wee lad growing up in Campbell CA (Suburb of San Jose) Dad would take us to this restaurant a 1/2 mile from the house.
Now, they had a jukebox and I played the snot out of several songs (American Pie, Maggie May, Take me Home)
But what amazed me more than the jukebox, up by the register the glass counter was not filled with pies (they were in glass case behind it), no sir, it was FIREARMS! Yep! ALL KINDS of wheel guns. And I will NEVER forget the most expensive one that I could touch.
A triangular hand guard, FULL AUTO M16 (maybe A1) for something like $600. (May have been $1400)
I used to run to the counter after putting on John Denver and then gaze at that guns.

HA! Imagine in California, you go to get a burger and on the way out pickup a Full Auto M16 as an after dinner treat.

Praise God Dad moved us to East Texas in the winter of 1978.....
