Re: My grocery store is awesome
So, Mrs. NPR is home sick from work today, and asked if I would run to the store to get her a magazine (to read). I asked "you want a magazine from Fred Meyer?" and she said yes, please. So I pulled a spare 15 rounder from my belt and tossed it on the couch with her.

Hence the reason I didn't toss her a pistol to go with it. In all seriousness, I'm not making a special trip to the store for a paper magazine when we've already paid for the internet, and it's always on.Greg wrote:Hasn't anybody warned you about that sort of thing yet?Netpackrat wrote:So, Mrs. NPR is home sick from work today, and asked if I would run to the store to get her a magazine (to read).

Heh, good point. If you have an Android device, try Google Currents. Online magazine reader. I like it quite a bit.Netpackrat wrote:Hence the reason I didn't toss her a pistol to go with it.

And here I was thinking the grocery by my girlfriend's was great for having a liquor section that's about 2/3rds the size of the rest of the store.

I swung by there tonight for actual groceries, and I noticed that they have some of the first 10mm ammo I have seen since the going got weird. I didn't care for the price at all, but at least they had it.

My grocery store doesn't have magazines or ammo, but my hardware store does, plus they're a completely stocked merchant of death.
A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
