Gun Websites Gun Show Loophole Tour
California 2016
Google Maps (on the phone) ain’t got nothing on a few paper towels and a sharpie marker… As useful as @GoogleMaps can be, it can’t plan a multi-location route.. and that is lame
So @Smeggie42 and I created our own map of Los Angeles on this paper towel, and created a route to hit all the #RingOfFire factories & the ‘Terminator’ gun shop, ‘Falling Down’ surplus store, etc
It took all day, but we visited them all !! Thanks to our friends in LA for their help on the trip. It was great meeting CA shooters & pro-rights activists
