Rare As Hen’s Teeth

hens teethToday, I get to do something rare (for me) as hen’s teeth.

GO SHOOTING!  :-p

Between not having the funds for ammunition, a decent vehicle for travel and few firearms from which to choose, shooting is indeed a rarity.  I miss it.

Fortunately, my friend Bob (a former PI boss and gun shop boss) suggested we get together as we used to and hit the desert.  He’s bringing an appropriate vehicle and targets.  I’m bringing my 1911 and some ammo, on loan from my roomie!  (aren’t friends great?)

We can’t stay out too long, as Bob has family responsibilities in town, but just getting away – ‘recoil therapy’ – should be fun.

I’ll try to do an after-action report.  Be safe!

  5. My wife and I took a new Bersa BP9CC out to the range to test recently. We started throwing rounds downrange as normal. Later, when driving home, it hit me how many 9mm we just shot and I don’t have any way of replacing the rounds. The local shops are out of ammo and the online places are either out or charging $1/round for FMJ.

    More dry fire for us, I guess.

The Four Rules

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

FEAR

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Bene Gesserit, from Frank Herbert's Dune

“F**k Civility. Hyperbole, passion, and metaphor are beautiful parts of rhetoric. The marketplace of ideas cannot be toned down for the insane.” - Penn Jillette
