Pointless Announcements

You do? What do you have?

 

I have yet to really look at it. Veggie-Hippie-Apparent Riflemaster Husband (by all accounts, my husband can shoot pretty well) stashed it once we got home. It's a .22 rifle, but I don't know more than that. It belonged to Grandpa. My BIL got the hunting rifle, which was what I really wanted, cause honestly, out of all of us, who is most likely to go hunting? Oh well. Gotta learn to shoot the .22 first.

 

Awesome. .22s are a lot of fun, and once people stop being crazy about ammo, they are cheap to shoot. It is a great gun to learn on, that is what I taught me wife to shoot first. Mine is a Ruger 10/22, which is one of the more common 22s around for the last several decades. You'll have to post up pics and more detail when you get a chance.

 

He let me take a peek. It is also a Ruger 10/22. My uncle wants us to come shoot sometime. My husband liked shooting for fun once upon a time.

 

Yeah, but God only knows if it will ever see the light of day, even for fun. Personally, I think if it's going to be in my house, I ought to know how to use the damn thing.

 

Absolutely. If it is there you should at least know the basics for safety's sake. A 10/22 is an awesome first gun.

My wife loves to go target shooting. She hated guns and was afraid of them before I had one. A little education on gun safety and some range time and her perspective changed 180*.

 

I'm not afraid. My husband thinks I'm a little too eager, actually. But they're something I grew up around, tangentially, and never learned how to use. He's from a family where EVERYONE knows how to shoot--even his dad, who grew up in a non-hunting family, learned to shoot in Scouts. I don't think he gets my perspective of wanting to know more, as he takes his own ability/capability for granted.

 

Just did a search on "blood play" for research purposes, as it comes up in the story I'm working on, and the 9th result was a thread from 4.0. Gave me a chuckle.

 

My 13-year-old niece is visiting for New Year's.

I just bought us a couple of tickets to see the stage production of Les Mis on Thursday. We're sitting in the orchestra section, centre, twelve rows back.

We'll be able to smell the gunpowder.

Neither of us has seen it yet.

 

I ought to put on real pants. I'm currently wearing my World Peace Pants (TM @mixedmedia). They are super comfy but they are in no way suitable for going out to a store to acquire more Japanese green tea.
