SHOT Show is a rare event, indeed—it's not often that you'll see all of the industry's biggest names together in one place. From well-respected writers to renowned celebrities, the world's biggest firearms enthusiasts all flock to Las Vegas, Nev. each January. There were a number of well-known names at 2013's Media Day at the Range—including screen legend and avid gun supporter R. Lee Ermey. American Rifleman's Mark Keefe stopped to chat with Gunny, and the pair discussed everything from his Media Day plans to why he prefers Glock. Get a look inside his world with the video below:

The gun I principally traveled to SHOT Show this year to see this year was on the last position on the lower range at Media Day At The Range. It is the Uzi Rifle, and it is actually a .22 Long Rifle rimfire version of the legendary Israeli design. I have shot a number of Uzis over the years, including the semi-automatic carbine when I was a teenager to the full-automatic submachine guns and the difficult to control Mini Uzi in full automatic, and I must say this was almost as much fun as a full-automatic Uzi. OK, maybe not as fun, but close. The gun is made by Carl Walther in Germany and imported into the United States by Umarex, with the name and likeness of the gun being licensed by Israel Weapon Industries.

Welcome to Las Vegas! The SHOT Show got underway today, the annual convention of gun dealers, manufacturers, distributors, importers, exporters and anyone remotely connected to the firearms trade. There will be about 40,000 of us descending on the town that Obama reviled for its excess.
