He had a new Taurus 9mm, so he and I took it along with a9mm Beretta and an M-1 carbine, out back to my makeshift range. We shot up a bunch of ammo.
Iasked him if he had ever tried bump-firing. I showed him how it was done and we proceeded to make noise. You can't hit anything, but it is a lot of fun.
We had just finished up and were headed for the house when TWO Trooper cars slid into my driveway. Out jumped FOUR Troopers and approached us.They all had their sidearms HOLSTERED. They asked what we were shooting and we told them. They had a good laugh and told us that someone had reported machine-gun fire. I laughed and said the person had obviously never heard a machine gun. We had lots of ammo and a good backstop. Remember those days? We all had a good laugh and they left.
In my estimation that's how GOOD cops should react to two honest citizens participating in LEGAL recreation.
Okay, I’ll bite... What is “bump-fire” and what did you use as your backstop inside your garage?
