Went to our local show today too, and have actually been to most of the shows within an hour or so of us over the past few months. If nothing else it's a chance to be around and socialize with others who share a common interest, see what's new, see alot of great old stuff, and look for the next 'got to have' at an affordable price. Hey, it never pays to jump the gun (pun intended) and buy without shoping around. That said, as far as the firearms themselves, it's not a matter of Needing them as it is wanting, and enjoying them. It's no different than any of the guys, or gals, on here collecting tractors. Just because they don't need them doesn't mean they don't want them and enjoy them. Personally wether the 'black helicopters' ever show up or not I enjoy target shooting, and when time permits hunting, although it hasn't permitted in too many years. I will say though, if the helicopters ever do show up, I'm well prepared to do my part to protect our freedoms as our Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Second Amendment. That aside, My wife and daughter aren't into hunting (YET), but they both enjoy target shooting. In fact my 10 year old daugher got a single shot .22 rifle /.410 shotgun (interchangable barrels) as her first gun right before Christmas. It was her choice for her one big gift this year. As far as the target shooting though, after a week working the phones at a bank, listening to irate customers cuss and fuss at her all day, my wife says it's relaxing to come home and take her pistols down in the bottom and go though a few rounds of .22, .380, and/or 38 special. Not to mention we use the spatter targets that turn colors and she, "likes the pretty colors" they make when she hits them...hey, even I've got to admit the random colors, and color shapes, on the black background do look pretty cool...Plus she's also a really good shot and enjoys having one more practical skill that she is really good at...and something she can do better than me....Yep, got to admit, I'm better with the rifle, but she is a much better shot with the pistol, along with also being able to shoot with both eyes open, something I've never been able to train myself to do.
So, it's not a matter of Need for my family at least, it's just that shooting is something we all enjoy doing together, and the more choices you have to use, the more fun it can be.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
