Went to the range today

[Further]

I was a little bit rusty, its been a while. But felt good to squeeze off a few and by the end I was shooting great.

Talking to the owner of the range, said last week he had a 240% increase in customers over the same week a year prior. He also said many more than normal were shooting their Concealed Carry weapons instead of just shooting a bunch of range guns or bigger guns.

I'm gonna build an armored car with knives that stick out from the tires like in The Dukes of Hazzard.

I don't need no stinking guns.

Crap, they just towed out a totaled Hummer, that would have been perfect.

...same, same!

The way it's blowing here in Bandon today, you couldn't hold a 9 iron short of those woods back there^.

...makes for a long hole going the other way!

The first thing that came to my mind was that you went a golf course.

Let Marazul know if you need to borrow any guns!

 

[Denny Crane]

Or a pressure cooker.

...same, same!

Is your concealed-carry piece a putter or are you just happy to see me?

 

[barfo]

Or a pressure cooker.

or a shoelace, a band-aid, and a package of jell-o. He can weaponize that too!

Good. Cause the Islamic terrorists are coming for us all. First they killed 3000 in 2001. Then they killed 14 in 2015. At this rate, with only 350 million Americans, we'll be extinct in no time. But if we all get guns, no doubt we can slow them down. Or shoot each other. Win either way, right?

Bring Johnny Depp and your friends and make it a costume party. Get into your pirate outfits, steal Marzul's ship at swordpoint, and sail the mighty seas with lusty cries of "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!"

For me, I don't carry because of them, and I really hardly ever carry. But as a gun owner I do think it's my responsible to be able to (1) hit what I am at, (2) not hit what I don't aim at, and (3) use my gun frequently enough that safety precautions are routine. I do carry occasionally late at night, if I go camping, or on my way to the range. Thats about it. I don't fear lightning strikes, falling piano's or terrorism. If piano's start falling more frequently I may add that to my list of worries.

But the range owner was certainly suggesting that others were packing heat just in case of terrorism. Oh, I live in Walla Walla, terror target number 1.

Well, "Walla Walla" actually sounds like something a terrorist might shout as he blows himself up.
I agree wholeheartedly with your 3 suggested gun owner responsibilities.
I do think you should have a bit more fear of falling pianos. They are sworn to kill us.

The founding fathers never considered a pressure cooker could be used as a bomb, after all.
