    Had the privilege of meeting dragon man on his museum tour last Saturday. The dude is such a unique character. First thing he does is start handing out ice cream sandwiches to the kids in the tour at 10:00am!

    "Not too many in the country." So, there's another museum where you can go shoot full auto across the parking lot? I don't think there's a museum anywhere in the world let alone the country that would let anyone shoot a bb gun let alone full auto anywhere on the property let alone the front parking lot. 😆
    Man, I love this guy!

      @BretAllenStudios 4 года назад

      🤣, I wouldn’t call it paradise. It’s hot in the summer, bitter cold in the winter and the wind used to blow over my 200 lb barbecue on the back porch and take down the fencing. Also, it’s still in Colorado which has become a liberal Democrat hell hole with Red Flag laws, magazine restrictions, homeless population problems, high taxes and $800 tags for my truck. I guess paradise is in the eye of the beholder 😂.
      Mel is cool though. I’ve shot at Dragon Mans a few times.
