Chance encounter -- Henry & Black Guns
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2018 1:45 pm
Just a short tale about a fellow I met at a Casey's General Store during lunch time today. Get my gas there, and sometimes have either breakfast or lunch if I feel lazy about cooking. Today I stopped for a couple of pizza slices -- Casey's is well-known for their tasty pizzas.
The fellow was waiting for me to get my pizza slices; his turn next. He had on a t-shirt with "Black Gun Matters" in bold black letters against a gray background.....couldn't be missed. I had on my black Henry hat, which had the Henry Cowboy and "Made in America" logo. So I took the plunge, pointed to my hat and said, "Wish I had a t-shirt that said Henry Matters."
Wow, what a grin popped onto his face!!
He told me he absolutely loves his Henry GB, and really wants to get a Henry .45 Colt or .44 Magnum for his next rifle. I told him I had the SGC, and he again lit up. "Man, you have the Skinner peep as a stock rear sight, don't you?" The chance chat continued for a few more minutes, until we both realized our pizza was rapidly getting cold! 
Oops! Our chat about Henrys was quite interesting, and I didn't ask him about his interest in black guns and what he has. I've seen the fellow in Casey's at other times, and had noticed the t-shirt logo, too. Next time I bump into him, should introduce myself and maybe I might learn some new things about his black guns.
