I got to hang out with David at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas a few years back. He is a very nice guy and very down to earth. I had no idea how big he was when I meet him. He was at the Ernest Emerson booth, both he and Ernest invited me back to shoot the breeze.

I doubt he would even remember me but for the time he was very nice.
