I just got back from a Soldier of Fortune trade show exhibit at the Sahara. The terrorism seminars were very interesting. I did some last minute shopping before I have to leave for my flight back to Detroit tommorrow.

My purchases are currently spread out on my king sized bed here in the Las Vegas Hilton.

BAGGAGE MANIFEST

1. Three dozen tracers, some for the .357, others for the .44 Magnum. They cause a huge yellow streak to erupt from the front of your weapon. The blue-tipped ones are incendiaires.

2. One Galco International shoulder holster for Model 39 Smith and Wesson or the Beretta 9mm auto.

3. One authentic Rommel Field Afrika Korps hat, khaki, silk-lined.

17. Aerospatiale AACP short-range anti-tank rocket, fully guidable, 4 second quiet time, low muzzle velocity, particularly effective in urban combat conditions, with Kevlar firing tube.


They must have some sort of special compartments for stuff like this... right? I mean, one should be able to buy things that are for legal sale in this country and be able to have them transported by an airline, right?


I don't like the prospect of having to drive all the way back to Detroit with all this sh*t. But I will if I have too.
