Testify

I've gotten the guys at work interested in shooting. I don't push it on them, much. But everyone is afraid of zombies.

All these guys have kids at home, so that has slowed down firearm purchases. They aren't worried for their safety, as such, they just didn't feel like dealing with the issue of safes and locks and such. But zombies wait for no man. And there comes a time when you gotta teach your boy about firearms. Would that MORE fathers taught their sons (and daughters) proper gun-handling.

One guy has been talking about getting a Mossberg Pursuader 500 for months. Maybe he will, maybe he won't.

Another guy has to take his grandmother's guns as she is simplifying her life. She is known affectionately as GRambo (she had a few guns and wasn't afraid to practice with them), but now only feels the need for her semi-auto pistol. The .30-06 and Remington 1100 semi-auto 12 gauge goes to her grandson. He is ex-army and HATED the M-4 carbine the army issued him. Now he is looking at AR-10 style carbines or maybe an M1A.

The guy next to HIM is intrigued with the .17 caliber varmint round and wants something by Marlin for that desire. The other gun is an AR-15 type from Bushmaster. He used to be a pretty good shot in the army and wants to see if he can still hit the LOOOOOONG paper.

A few guys at work are gun nuts. Worse than any OTHER people I know. One bought his ammo at Wal-Mart by the pallet. (apparently a great sale) Them, I didn't need to provide any of my, admittedly meager, expertise and advice to. But I can answer SOME questions. Like "Where do I find a Bushmaster rifle" which I say, "Check the website and look for 'Dealer Locator.'" See? I'm not THAT stupid.

Notice, all long guns? Yeah. They already HAD various pistols. Didn't need me to tell them they wanted one of those.

Best part is? They are helping the economy. If the gov't wants to send us an economic stimulus tax rebate, we'll just spend it on something important. Like Zombie stoppers.
