I like guns
So does Steve Lee from Down Under.
His trigger discipline isn't the best, though. If I was shooting that video, I would have knocked a gun out of his hand a couple times...
He must have moved to a free country to film that, though. Australia got rid of all those nasty things, I thought...

Take Your Daughter to the Range Day!
Both of my daughters are good shots, so today I took my 7-year old granddaughter and her Mom out back to the range. I have a pink Crickett .22 single shot I bought just for her.
She was drilled in the four rules before she got here, and followed them with minor reminders at first. By the end she was setting the rifle down gently and announcing "Going downrange!" before running down to see how she did.
Shooting at about 30 yards, she was getting into a Shoot N See target pretty regularly. Several bull's eyes.
I let her empty one magazine out of the 10-22 at the end, though I had to help support the rifle a bit - she's a skinny kid, and the Ruger is a bit heavy for her.
She wants to go shooting "every time they come" now.

My five most-wanted guns
Not sure who started it, but here's my wishlist:
1. Browning BAR. Ever since reading "Unintended Consequences", I've wanted one. My Dad had a field manual - dated August 1918- for the BAR, and I'd like to have the real thing.
2. Magazine-fed .50 BMG rifle, since Ill-Annoys ex-Governor Rod Blackholobitch hated them. Besides, I've got almost enough back yard to be able to do some 600-yard target practice.
3. Ma Deuce. A quad mount on some sort of mobile platform.
4. An original M1911. Preferably one that has seen combat.
5. An original Luger. A friend who served in WWII flying B24s as armorer and bombardier had one, and I don't know who got it after he died. It was an officer's gun, with the holster.
I could go on for a couple pages, if money is no object...
