What is it with little boys and guns? Playing 'army' was one of my favorite childhood pastimes. A steady diet of
Steve Donovan, Western Marshall and
Combat! might have had something to do with it. Still, I was a little surprised when I came across the above ad, enough so that I followed
the link and when they offered to locate the nearest store, I said sure, tell me, and they did: 894 miles away in
Norco, California. Norco? Never heard of it. Could it be Northern California? No, LA. Curious place. The Navy has a
Surface Warfare Center there, one of two on the West Coast, both in Southern California. It's also famous for
a big gun battle between the police and a crew of bank robbers. Sounds kind of like the movie
Heat.

What makes Norco interesting is their horse-centric view of the universe. Sidewalks? We don't need no steenking sidewalks, we've got horse trails all through town. Every house has a bit a of pasture and a two horse garage. Which reminds me:
