Musings

  • I’d like to say that I was a world shaker and a life taker at the pistol match on Saturday, but I was taught not to lie.
    • The best thing I can say is that I didn’t get disqualified, which is something, I guess.
  • You know things aren’t going to go well for you when one of the first things that happens in a course of fire is your magazine falling out the bottom of your gun.
    • It happened twice on the same magazine.  That magazine is now a modern art piece in the bottom of a trash barrel.
  • If you are ever held as a hostage and human shield and you see me coming around the corner armed with a 1911, I’m pretty sure your best bet for survival will be Stockholm Syndrome.
  • Old, bad habits are hard to break, especially when you’re frustrated and in a hurry.
  • Freiheit and I tried out the Chipmunk pistol that I won back in December.  It points easily, is pretty darn accurate at close range, but I can’t see where I would ever use it unless I was looking for a challenge while squirrel hunting.
  • Irish Woman and I watched the opening ceremony for the Olympics the other night.
    • Someone needs to tell the athletes that there are literally hundreds of professional grade cameras surrounding them at the ceremony, so they can put away their cameras and cell phones and march with a little dignity while the world watches.
    • Someone needs to tell the American athletes that mugging for the camera is not why they’re there.  They were one step short of throwing gang signs.
    • Whoever picked out those sweaters our athletes were wearing needs to undergo some tests for color blindness, psychiatric issues, and drug use.
  • I bought Boo his first cap pistol today.  It came with a gun belt and holster.  He’s been working on his draw and doing dry fire drills ever since we got home.
    • It’s a blued, break-open, actual metal model with mother-of-pearl handles.  When he’s done with it, I’m going to put it away for his son.
    • We already started having talks about pointing it at people and cats, and I haven’t bought any caps yet.  Those will come when he can play with it outside.
