For the Broomhandle fans

alvin · 07-21-2012, 07:40 AM

A high school classmate visited me, it's a pleasure to meet old friend that have not met each other for decades. My spouse told him that I collected a few guns so he wanted to take a look.

I showed him MN Rifle, Mauser Pocket, Luger, Browning, and a few Brooms, it's interesting to notice the reaction from people usually do not touch any guns.

(1) He likes Luger, and short barrel Broom. I guess the unique shape of those pistols attracted his attention.
(2) He noticed immediately that Spanish Brooms were very well done. Seldom seeing anything made in Spain in daily life, he's astonished that Spanish Broomhandles looked so nice.
(3) His wife told me a story of 1970s: a security guy violated regulation carrying his duty pistol back to home. The guy's son found it, played it, and accidentally shot the mom. Conclusion: gun is a bad thing.
(4) His father-in-law was a MIG-15 pilot in 1950s and had experience with pistols. He confirmed with me that those pistols were not loaded before touching a Broom.
(5) His teenager son had no interest in guns of any type.
