Recently on an episode of 'American Rifleman' television, they visited a Colt collection in LA at the Autry Western Heritage Museum. I decided I'd like to check it out. As luck would have it, I had the weekend off and headed to LA to do some sight seeing. The first stop was to the museum. It is right across the street from the Griffith park zoo and on saturdays, it hosts a farmers market, a very eclectic one including some fine gourmet food vendors. I perused the market before hitting the museum afraid to buy anything since it would sit in my hot ass car all day long.
