This past weekend I popped into a gun store I hadn't been in for some time. I used to pop in once a week when I lived near the store but since moving into the city, I don't get up that way as often.
The owner immediately said "I'm glad you're here! You work in computers for your company right?" He then went on to explain he had lost internet access about four days ago that he accessed wirelessly from the furniture store in the next building (the furniture store owner knew this and allowed it) as well as the furniture owner was on the phone with the local telco for several hours and they were no help. He asked if I would please take a look.
Long story short: The wireless router had given up the ghost and needed to be replaced. The gun store owner ran to the local office supply store and picked up a new router; I got it installed and both businesses had their internet back up and running.
When I went to pay for a holster I had gone to the gun store to pick up in the first place, the owner said "Just take it. It's the least I can do!"
So for less than a hours work and a simple fix, I got a free holster out of it. It made me wonder, anyone else parlay their skills or talents for guns/accessories?
