Drove down from Palmy early with thoughts of a $1 rifle.....
Got there too late (9:15am) and the shop was packed shoulder to shoulder.
LOTS of guns going out the door - which is fantastic! The more shooters in NZ, the better!
Disappointed I didn't see the sandal-and-sock anti-gun brigade out picketing, could've been quite funny.
Pretty much no ammo left by the time I walked out the door (empty-handed!) but did head further down to the quieter and more knowledgeable environment of Mainly Hunting, were I bought 100rnds of Hornady .223 for $120.
