Crap, Busted
Range buddy backed out. She is feeling poorly. So instead of something tedious and boring like a range day, I am going to do something riveting and exiting! Yard work. The weather is nice and that lawn isn't going to cut itself. It's not Emo.
I find it's easier not going with a range buddy. In fact, I just got back from such an expedition. Ended up talking with a nice fellow who also knew the local gun shop owners by name. And also built his AR with parts from said store.
Hmm. So no range work for you today, Jay's coming in this weekend, no range work in Pittsburgh. Good thing I have a week of cold, wet,rainy, muddy weather to look forward to that prevents me from any major lawn work. Think I'll hit the Range this week after I see Atlas Shrugged. But I really need to find an outdoor place to shoot Long Distance that won't cost me $50 in Gasoline just to get there. Oh well, we do what we can.
I am going to the range this week with a buddy from college. He use to be a bleeding heart liberal. I am slowly swinging him around to the conservative camp.
"You don't become conservative unless you have something to conserve..."
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.
