Ever had a horrible/embarrassing moment at the 1500?

[Litlratt]

At my very first 1500, my wallet was about 1/4" from being pickpocketed.
Always kept my money in a front pocket after that when attending.

How do you know??

How do you know??

Must be a guy thing.

When I reached around and felt, there was 1/4" of the wallet in my back pocket.

Absolutely! And the thread had suffieintly derailed for a couple pages, it seemed appropriate.

Some years ago at the show, I was looking at a simi-auto thompsom.
Well I pick up a drum mag and slap it in!

Anyone who knows Thompson's (I didnt) knows what happened...

The drum went right through the mag slot and bounced down the hallway for 50 feet till it hit the wall!...the seller wasnt happy with me fer sure

That's a good one. I'll have to file that away, just in case.

I can't visualize how this could happen.

 

[Johnny C]

On a Thompson, the drum slides in from the side, it doesnt go in from the bottom, like modern mags, and there is no stop anywhere, at least on the one I was handling, so it went right on through...

My not-so horrible 1500 moment came a few years ago. A table had some Tec-9s, and a young kid asked another guy if they could be converted to full-auto, then he asked me when the first guy brushed him off. Since I was pretty sure those Tec-9s weren't in the registry, I gave him a quick lecture on the laws that applied and on being careful about who he chooses to ask questions.

I still want to hear the original story...LOL
