Weapons Specialist in New York City
March 15, 2009 @ 2:48 pm
One of the largest weapons arsenals on the East Coast reportedly resides in the heart of New York City’s SoHo district.
Rick Washburn, the owner of the weapons vault he calls Weapons Specialist and he is responsible for supplying and even creating weapons for a long list of major Hollywood films. Rick says that most of the guns he owns in his collection were at one time actual guns but are now modified to shoot only blanks. But you don’t have to have a big budget to get access to his collection. Rick says he welcomes any potential customer so long as they can pass an FBI background check.
I’d love to check the place out.
Cocaine Cowboys

The good thing about having a Netflix account is that there are more than enough documentaries to go through via their online streaming movie service. Whenever I’m bored, I log in to Netflix and choose one of the recommended documentaries to watch and the most recent one was one called Cocaine Cowboys.
Cocaine Cowboys is about the drug trafficking that went on in Miami during the early days of the city and how the drug money from that era went on to literally build and sustain the city itself into the hugely popular tourist destination it is today. The film goes quite in depth into the violence that occurred and took over Miami in the 70’s and 80’s and highlights some of the important figures in the drug trade that ruled the area like a mafia family (a Columbian and Cuban mafia family).
The film does progress kinda quickly, especially with the numerous interviews of fast-talking criminals behind a sometimes-annoying (and continuously playing) film soundtrack. However, that doesn’t affect the way that this movie delivers its message and that has definitely made me more curious about the city in which I grew up in.
