Tiffany Blue is the new Black? Considering that I am married to an LEO, it’s not so outlandish that I have an affinity for firearms; I appreciate the role they play in our nation’s rich history and I especially love that I live in a country where firearms are a constitutional right given to the people.
This year, Mike and I were privileged enough to be amongst a record-breaking 67,000 attendees that made the pilgrimage to the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade show, otherwise known as SHOT show, in Las Vegas. SHOT hosts an amazing array of vendors – from guns to camping gear to camouflaged lingerie (yes, that would be camo panties) – and runs for a full 5 days, which is still not enough time to see it all.
The trip was very much a blur – but there were a few highlights:
Meeting Chris Costa.
This man is quite possibly God’s gift to firearms training.
He is respected in the industry like no other, and meeting him in the flesh was a tongue-tying moment. He chatted with us about his latest promotional video and how the behind-the-scenes portions were the true reward of the production. He graciously gave us a few pointers on Vehicle CQB for Mike’s upcoming class on the subject. We were beyond honored that he would invest so much of his time with us.

I. LOVE. THIS.
It’s compact, it’s light, it has full-size fire-power, it’s ergonomic, it’s intuitive… and it’s gorgeous. About the only things I might change on it is the color, which is fine because it's going to be standard in black, and possibly the forward grip.
Someday, when they unleash the six8, I hope to make one of these little beauties my own.

Being in Vegas – good times. There’s not been a Roulette table that’s been bad to me. It’s a fun game and I enjoy the pace of it. I especially love it when my number hits and that crotchety old dealer has to stack up a mountain of chips and slide them across the table to me. (Don’t worry, I gave him a tip for the trouble.)
I would also like to add that taking the winnings to the piano bar is too much fun. Especially after a few spicy Bloody Mary's.

The Sights...
A Vegas tradition for me is going through the Bellagio Atrium. This year, they have it decorated for Chinese New Year. What’s neat about the Atrium is that nearly everything is made in flowers. It’s like a parade float, and it’s amazing.
