Don't forget the St. Christopher clip for the sun visor! ;-)

You'll be OK...though I admit I did have my sister with me. She didn't so much navigate as talk me out of panic mode when required. It wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it'd be, though.

Yup, we got that! Talon is a licensed NRA safety instructor dude, and g'nad acted as our range master. When we were doing handgun practice, we had three targets and three supervisors. I think the only way we could have been safer would have been to not load the guns, and where's the fun in that.

Heh, we got our choice of about fifteen lovely pieces of deadliness.

You know that sign g'nad has that says "Trespassers will be killed and eaten"?

Yeah.

Don't think anything happened... I suggested kidnapping thegirl but even though Rosie loves her more than I do, she thought it would be unwise to kidnap the daughter of a man who has his own arsenal. And hundreds of acres on which to hide a body.

It seemed an odd dimension for a coop.

On that run, once east of the NJ line by about 10-15 miles, it unwinds into an easy, roomy, non-aggressive run.

The tough part is the mixmaster at Throgs Neck in the Bronx. Even then, not too bad.

Keep to the upper deck on the GW and the express on the 95 in Jersey.

If a country mouse like me can handle it, anyone can.

We're realizing we don't know the apartment complex's rule on firearms.

I can't imagine they forbid 'em entirely...but maybe I'm naive. Just seems like it'd be too hard to enforce in this kinda area.

I just want a .22 rifle and a smallish revolver. Is that so much to ask? Hmm...

Did you ladies have to clean the guns afterwards? Did you find the smell of Hoppe's No.9 to be as sensual as I do?

Sounds like a pretty good size pen for a couple fat chickens, though. They sound like heavy bastards, and if that's the case, a short "fence" would do. Let'em pick out dough and feed in a controlled range.

I'll say! LOL I'll try to remember not to point the gun in his general direction.

No, the men chivalrously set up and tore down. We cleaned shrimp.
