I wish I could walk into a gun store and pick up a Thompson and a Colt Monitor.
LOL! Used to could back in the day. Hardware store meant HARDWARE!
“I wish I could walk into a gun store and pick up a Thompson and a Colt Monitor.”
they’re available legally (though not many), and cost fortunes to buy ... I personally own two Tommys: one is a 1921/1928 Colt Navy Overstamp in pristine condition and the other is a WWII US Army M1A1 originally sent to the Chinese to fight the Japanese in WWII, which was then given to North Vietnam by the Chinese, taken from a dead Cong, and then brought back to the U.S. by a naval aviator after the war from whom I purchased it a few years ago ...
