(Sweet Willie killing some paper)
So, in the last few weeks I have been picking up some new
hobbies.......I finally got around to picking up a gun again after almost 15 years
and joined the Manchester Firing Range, which is like 5 minutes from my
house.
I was looking around, figuring I would get another Glock like I had
many moons ago, but saw the Springfield XD line, and knew that was what I
wanted. I ended up going with the XD45, and boy, what a nice gun it is.
The first time shooting again Tuesday night was kind of like riding a
bike- even after so long, after a few shots it just felt like old times.
While my skills are not the greatest (yet), I did alright for my 1st
time out. I actually ended up going back Wednesday afternoon and shooting
some more. It was a lot of fun.
Now, I never thought I would be joining Sweet Willie's Militia, but
with the shooting that just occured, I am really starting to believe that
perhaps we might all be a little safer if we were all well trained and
carried firearms. Maybe if someone on that Virginia Tech campus was
carrying the other day, there would have been a lot less than the 32 that
were killed. Unfortunately, because of this whack jobs little outburst,
the people who carry firearms legally will end up paying the price for
his rampage. Stupid, non working gun laws will be presented, great hype
will be established, and yet again the government will control more and
more of our rights while the criminals who illegally carry firearms
still get the slaps on the wrist and no real punishment for their
offenses.
Anyways, enough of that crap. What really made me laugh was while
filling out the paperwork for the gun club, the guy there was telling me
that they had young kids shooting with their dads there all the time. I
thought that was awesome. At some point I am going to have to teach Drew
about guns, and will teach him how to shoot once we have some time. I
can't wait for that since I love doing new stuff with him.
Speaking of new, I traded in the Mighty Dodge Ram........for a Hummer.
The Big Hummer. A big Fire Engine Red Hummer. What an awesome ride. Its
a 2004 with 29K miles on it. Its big and sexy, just like me....hahaha!
Even Kerri likes it, which says a lot. It will be perfect for taking
the trailer riding and day tripping with all the puppies, who will have
their own little palace in the back. It is as big as a house, though.
Since I mentioned puppies, Besos is doing wonderful. Rocky and Yogi
seem to be tolerating him and Kerri loves him to death, which is amusing
because she always says she hates Rocky and Yogi, but we all know that
is a lie.
Next week, Drew is on vacation, and we are all off to Colorado to see
my brother. It will be fun since Colorado is an awesome place and Drew
and Kerri have never been there. Hopefully we'll have a lot of pics to
post, so till then, see ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
