The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

That, and the fact any gets extremely dirty workin' 'round here... revolvers are much more forgiving...
To: Sam Cree
Heh.... you are gonna need extra luggage...
To: Corin Stormhands
Yeah, you can travel with guns, I think, if you check them through, people go on hunting trips in other states all the time. Unless this has changed in light of 9/11, but I doubt it has. The airlines used to limit you to 11 pounds of ammo.
On Amtrak, you have to remove the bolt and lock the things up.
To: Sam Cree
Well, I think we should definitely find out if there's a range or something nearby. This is getting exciting. I'm not going to entmoot, but you should check for local ranges that rent guns. It might be easier than risking carrying your own through various states.
You really need to find a range that rents automatic weapons. Rent an uzi or MP5, and have a blast.
To: Sam Cree
Then we could bring in the artillery mmmmmmm.... artillery...
To: g'nad
G'nad: very nice shooting, amigo, very nice. A wheel gun man at heart, I knew it. My fav. is my SW 66.
Mexican loop "Duke". sweeet.
To: g'nad; HairOfTheDog; Sam Cree
Later folks. Going to work out.
To: Lil'freeper
Those copperheads, tho. *shudder* Sneaky bastards I'm with yuh on that... this bugger wasn't tryin' tuh get away... he was poised to strike... if Jr hadn't seen him move, it'd've got him...
To: g'nad; osagebowman
I tell ya, I feel extremely safe, even having you just 3 hours away...don't you, Osage?
It's like those guys flying over my house in their helicopters and F16s...I like 'em...I feel safe having them flying over.
To: Corin Stormhands
See ya, Corin...
To: 300winmag
Maybe there's even a sporting clays range in Melbourne...those are a blast.
Sure, I'd like to fire a full auto, never done that before.
To: Corin Stormhands; ecurbh
We are gonna get you two fixed right up!
It is a different decision than I have when there are kids in the house... But there are ways to make it safe, and ease the worries of your Mrs...
To: g'nad
our property is on what the locals call, "Rattlesnake Ridge" Oh fun. Do you have a dog that can alert to a snake? One that can keep an eye on the kids while they play?
To: Corin Stormhands
Get strong, see you later.
To: osagebowman
you have good taste, master bowman... but I must confess, I do own a .45... Paraordnance P-12... my CCW piece... till I moved to Misery...
To: g'nad
We're shootin', huh? Guess I'd better go get my eye exam this year. :)
To: Lil'freeper
no dog yet... but I see one in our future...
To: Overtaxed
you only have to be able to see and focus on the sights...
To: osagebowman
Mexican loop "Duke". sweeet. yuh think?...
To: HairOfTheDog
My mom is kind of scared of guns. She used to be a liberal, when she was a kid, and thought guns were evil, and then, with all of us, she's too worried about someone getting shot. It's not like we live in a dangerous place, after all.
But I think guns are useful in the right circumstances, and I'd like to learn to use one.
