Thank God for California Laws. I feel so much safer ...

Currently in the Socialist State of California, visiting my in-laws for Christmas/New Years/Wife's Birthday.

Today I ran to Walmart to grab some firewood so I could teach my in-laws to use the fireplace--they have never owned a house with a fireplace since they are from the Philippines. Anyway, I passed by the ammo section to see what their prices were like, and I found this little gem. Thought i'd post it so y'all could enjoy it.



So, I ask the guy at the ammo counter (shocker, by the way... I can never find anyone at the ammo counter back home) and asked him..

Me: "So... no ammo sales because of the holidays? I don't get it."

Him: "Yeah, people shoot their guns in the air to celebrate on New Years and Christmas..."

Me: "What?"

Him: "Yeah, listen tonight... you will hear all kinds of popping and explosions from people shooting their guns in the air."

Me: "Has it occured to you that those may be fireworks?"

Him: "No.. so California passed a law a few years back that prevents us selling ammo during this time."

Me: "So if they have passed the law, and it's been in effect for a few years, why are you still hearing gunshots on New Years?"

Him: "Because they ignore the law"

Mrs. Snatchel: (while smiling) "I see what you did there, Snatchel"

Him: "What are you talking about?"

I left. I was hoping my subtle lesson would have an impact on him--apparently it went over his head. Anyway. I'm here till the 2nd, and i'll be glad to be driving back to Texas.

While the lesson may have been over his head, they DO have ammo...even though it may be expensive, the DO have ammo!!

True. They did have a decent selection. To be honest, my local Walmart in San Angelo rarely is low on ammo though.

Just remember, farming is the actual life-blood of the economy of that state...but this is the same state that cut off the water to the farmers to save some little fish.
This is the same state that cares about Hispanic folks SO MUCH...and yet the people who were hurt the most by cutting off the water because of the little fish...Hispanics.

They often aren't very good at putting two and two together to make four out there.

Apparently this guy purchased his ammunition a few days earlier
