These are nice folks, and I would appreciate anything you could buy from them.
Quick Tucker Gun story. In the 90's, there was a movement in the Tucker rich side of town in support of a couple in Africa, naturalists who were fighting poaching of elephants for ivory/meat. They were highly successful, and had a TV documentary and a successful book. They hired local game guards. Our folks undertook to supply the guards, who were literally barefoot. Milsurplus boots/uniforms/gear. They had to smuggle the stuff in or it would "disappear" enroute. The naturalists got a grant from the Frankfort Zoo, and got a Cessna bush plane and a set of 9mm pistols and burp guns, but no ammo. The local Tucker relative of the wife of the nats walked into Tucker Gun and ordered 20k rounds of 9mm and started telling the poor clerk what she was going to do with it. She couldn't understand why he ran into the back when she was half throught the tale. They smuggled the stuff (this is PTA soccer van moms here we're talking about) find a ferry pilot, one of the crazies who take a kingair purchased stateside and to be delivered overseas to Africa, stuff a rubber fuel bladder and a fuel transfer pump in the cabin, and FLY that inadequate range mofo across the Atlantic) who had some "extra weight" available), meet him at ptree dekalb GenAv airport on the fueling apron, and transfer the uniforms, combat boots, and 20k rounds of ninemike to the plane. They were in the process of doing so when about 10 fed cars pull up, guys from ATF, DEA, SS, USM, and FBI, with an empty bus. 3 simultaneous cases of female urinary incontinence. Then the prisoner transport plane taxis up and they offload the scum onto the bus and drive away. As did Frank on the plane and the pta pres, veep, and treas. And the elephant herds are steadily growing, and the folks who used to hunt them guide tourists and run seed oil press hand mills, and cultivate honey, and sew clothes on treadle machines, and no longer need to kill for meat. And in Tucker, they still laugh over alcohol about the pta arms smugglers vs. the Gmen...
