Our county fair is this week, and today was the day for entries in the fair competitions. As I went to help a neighbor carry a huge pumpkin there for the competition, I thought I'd bring along a piece of my leatherwork and enter it in the crafts competition while I was there. I had a plastic toy revolver that fit it perfectly, so I put it in the holster because it didn't look right empty. When I got there, the ladies recording entries were not impressed. One even suggest she wasn't sure anything like that would be allowed. This is Macon County for goodness sake! Boy have things changed since I was a child.
Here's what I entered, except the real Model 29 was replaced with a plastic copy. I can already see I won't do any good, but I was proud of it. Perhaps it will get me some business anyway. I never dreamed anyone in my hometown would take that type of attitude about guns and gun related gear. I guess the years of the media constantly beating their anti gun drum have taken their toll everywhere.
