After all I do like movies and if that isn't one of the major products of California I don't know what is.
Yes, I've picked up 62 pieces recently, mostly liquidated collections. I just picked up a WW1 Luger because the guy was broke. Unfortunate for him, but that's life. Yes, it's ridiculous to move out of California and attempt to get a job in the movie industry in .... Wyoming or whatever. Not so much on THIS forum, but a lot of the other gun forums have guys saying for everyone to move OUT. That's easy to say if I (a) didn't have a region specific JOB here and (b) didn't already own the house I live in and (c) have elderly relatives I have to look in on or care for who live close by. A lot of guys on those other forums just don't think before they post.

Query: Why did you BOLD your entire quote?
