Chance encounter -- Henry & Black Guns

[PT7]

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.

Further proof that you never know who you'll run into at Casey's! Great story, thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately no one would undestand the implication ‘Henry matters’ as they do the other.

Not true. This fellow immediately understood what I said and meant by that comment.
Yup, a cool "chance encounter."

Ok, he did only because he knew of (and owns) a Henry rifle - most other people would ask you “Whose Henry?”

[Cofisher]

My Henry

'Who's Henry' as in 'Who is Henry'
