Darn, old Barn is one busy dude these days.

If you look ever so carefully, you can see the outline of the lone .38 Special cartridge in his vest pocket.

Wow, almost unbelievable, except we know Clinton.

The stench of Klintoon's eight years in the White House will be with us for a lonr time. It lingers in the Senate too. For those misguided individuals who question live fire practice ranges, I hope the Cole incident will convince them that anyone in the military should be trained to handle a weapon. Laser training is inadequate.

Due to environmental concerns the firing range at Great Lakes was demolished in 1977.

I went to boot camp at Great Lakes in 1982 and fired a .38 revolver at the firing range. It was in pretty good shape for a range that had been demolished 5 years before.

Ive been in the Navy 7 years now. I am not sure why most recruits would need small arms training beyond "this is a gun, aim and pull." I am an expert in both rifle and pistol though I will NEVER be issued a weapon unless I decide to change rates. We learn to fight a ship, not hand to hand, that is why we own a little outfit called the Marines. If it would come down to most of us needing to use a weapon, the close proximities onboard a ship would render accuracy needless. Our watch standers are trained and certain rates are trained with small arms.

Hey, what about Ensign Parker (Tim Conway) from McHale's Navy? I wouldn't trust him with a loaded gun any more than Deputy Fife.
