From Times Wire Reports
White House hopeful Fred Thompson called his trip down an aisle of rifles, shotguns and pistols at a gun show in Ladson “a day in paradise.”
It was the former Tennessee senator’s second trip to a gun show since launching his bid for the GOP nomination in September, and followed a campaign stop at a gun shop in New Hampshire a day earlier.
At the Land and Sky Gun Show, Thompson picked up an old M1 Garand rifle. He also raised an over-and-under Winchester shotgun suitable for skeet shooting.
