    He had a few tables selling a bunch of his stuff.
    I got 5 pounds of Bullseye for $12/pound, a couple thousand primers, electronic ear muffs, and a box of self defense ammo.

    Nice! I've always wanted to meet him, seems like a genuinely nice and jovial guy. :)
    He is a very nice guy. He spoke with anybody and everybody that came to his table. He took a picture wit anybody that asked, and signed an autograph for anybody that asked. Plus, he’d sell you a gun if you wanted. I’ve met him once before, but only briefly. He lives about 30 miles from here, out on Shootout Lane.

    Nice! Yeah, he just seems super approachable. As far as I'm concerned, he's one of the best advocates for the shooting sports. He's always having such a great time in his videos, and his laugh and enthusiasm are completely infectious. After I watch a video of his, I'm always like "Hell yeah, I wanna go blow through a hundred bucks in .50BMG ammo trying (and failing miserably) to put 5 rounds on target in a less than a second!" :ROFLMAO:
     
    I think part of why he is so good is he doesn't take himself too seriously. He can have a bad stage or make a mental error and he doesn't throw a tantrum (or at least I've never seen or heard of it happening). He shrugs it off and moves on. Class act all around.

    I’ve enjoyed many of his YouTube videos. I’d also like to meet him. He seems to be a salt of the earth kind of person and has done a lot for the shooting sports world.
     
    Met Jerry at a shoot in Texas, very genuine guy.
    Talked to everyone like an old friend.
    This is exactly the way he talked to everybody at the show.
    I was talking to him about some powder that he had for sale. He was selling one pounders for 12 and 15 dollars. I asked him if he had any 8-pounders. He told me he had some at the house, that I should come by his house and pick one up. How's that for friendly?

    I shot against him at a few steel challenges...he has the fastest trigger finger on the planet bar none. It helps to have a range in your backyard.
    watching him reload a revolver is like a time warp.
     
    As much as I like and respect Jerry, his endorsement of the 930 JM is akin to Lewis Hamilton signing with Lada automobiles. Sure he'd sell a few and could beat anyone else driving a Lada but there's still no denying it's a shit car.
    Just like the 930 is universally and unanimously known as the worst gun in the sport.

    Well, he sure as shit ain't worried about anybody coming over and starting shit, that's a fact. Man can empty a revolver and reload it faster than I could with an M4 at the top of my game.

    So he was just giving away powder huh? I oughta stop by his place and see if he as any US869 for giveaway prices. I'm going through that shit like crazy.

    The other guy who hitched a ride on the 930 bandwagon is Gil Ash. He gave Mossberg his fucked up ideas and theories on clay shotgun fit and they swallowed that shit hook line and sinker. Net result: a gun that fits like shit (making hitting any clay target harder than it needs to be) and runs like shit.
     
    i was fortunate enough to have met him and Lena at the IPSC Rifle World Shoot Russia 2017. what an awesome shooting family! Jerry was an absolute gentleman. as busy as he was with all the media and promo....he took time and had a conversation with me. the man, the myth, the legend!!!
