that sucks, he didn't offer me either, but don't worry, he GAVE me the insults! great dude, like i said, i think i'm gonna bring a 6 pack in there next time. anyone know what he drinks (if he drinks?)


Bring something foreign and expensive. If he doesn't drink, it won't matter what you bring, if he does that should set him off.

This was one of my favorite places to hang out back when Don Parson's owned it. I was more into the calls than the reloading which I now regret. I am not in there nearly as much as in the past but I still make it in now and then.

And it was located on the main street in downtown Hopkins. I also got my start in reloading in that shop as well as my first revolver. I still have the loaders and the pistol. Ammocraft in the back of the building, Gun Stop in the front if I remember correctly. The used guns and those in for repair were often stacked along the hallway wall going from the rear entrance to the front. The sloping ramp seemed to always trip me up, it probably had more to do with me looking at guns rather than where my feet should go. Oh, the memories.

Ron taught me everything I know about reloading. This is why I have seven fingers in total.

Ron is one of the greatest guys I know.
When I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy.
