So it was my 2yo daughters first trip to a gun shop on good Friday, had to wrangle a bit saying to wife "well lets go to the farmers market and while we are there maybe we can pop in to see what is on sale?" I got a tepid response as we had been debating about if 2 was too young to be taken to a gun shop. Anyway we decide to take my daughter in and we both fill out the entry forms for the door prize(s) not really know what they were and trying to manage the little one. Do a quick scan, head to the clearance room, pick up a few essentials and go to the check out. Guys notice daughter in tow and rummage through the "make me an offer box" and find a "brain piggy bank". A little odd, but daughter actually loved stuffing it full so thanks guys!
Now it gets better, I get phone call the other day "Hi this is ### from the TSE, you are xxxx? yes...well you won our door prize! a shotgun...you do have a PAL right?". I was a bit flummoxed, "yes I have PAL, and ummm not to sound ungracious, but what kind of shotgun have I won?". "Let me check...its a Hatsan, when can you come in?" Picked it up today, turns out it was a Hatsan pump escort with black furniture, 5 choke tubes and spacers. Oh yea and a soft case, shooting glasses, and some funky green ear muffs.
THANKS TSE FOR MAKING MY DAUGHTERS FIRST VISIT A MEMORABLE ONE! (and reinforcing that only good comes from taking your daughter to the easter sale).
