Know what’s a fun things to do? Just before the plane touches ground while landing, stand up and shout at the top of your lungs, “We’re coming in too fast!!!” What are they going to do? Eject you from the plane? You’re already there.
Of course, I’m running out of airlines that will let me fly them.
It so cool to finally see mountains after being in flat, flat Florida all the time. Also, my dad got two .45’s – a Colt Mark IV Series 80 and a Springfield Stainless Steel Mil-Spec. I’m taking the Colt home with me, and, if my mom asks, my dad has had the Springfield since he was a baby. Anyway, everything was closed on the Fourth, so we went out into the desert for plinking. Nothing is cooler than firing dual .45’s while smoking a stogie. Can’t hit s**t firing like that, yet, but it’s still fun.
Well, spent the night drinking beer with my brother and friends and setting off those crappy legal fireworks. Ooh! They shoot sparks and whistle. Need more beer to make those entertaining.
Well, hope everyone is having or had a great Independence Day weekend. I’m putting up a new old post tomorrow. See you then.

First!
This just feels wrong people. How can there be nothing in the comments section?
Frank, you are missed. Who the heck is gonna make me laugh?
You are respnsible for the free world! don’t you know that.
PS> Bring back some potatoes.
doh! second.by seconds.
If anybody asks why you have a gun in your luggage, tell them your being stalked by Michael Moore.
If anyone asks why you have a gun in your luggage.. say, I’m sorry. Can you say that in Arabic, you filthy pig? they like it when you do that.
If anyone asks you why you have a gun in your luggage, say “You’re just discriminating against me because I’m black! Racism!” And when they look at you confused, kick them in the shins and run onto the plane.
Best answer to Franks Gun issue.
Sir, is that a gun in your luggage?
No it’s just really happy to see you.
Shh. I’m hunting wabbits.
Shut up. I served in Vietnam.
Are you questioning my patriotism?
The gun vending machine was out of order. You’re out of order. I’m out of order. We’re all out of order!
But Moooooom. It’s just a little gun.

I’m sorry. This is the only way I can get a 1st class upgrade.
“Can’t hit st firing like that,. ..”
Frank, you’ve posted your range targets. We all know you can’t his st no matter how you fire.
Sorry dude. Maybe if you ever get mugged you can crack the guy up with your funny. While he’s ROTFLHAO, then you can decapitate him with your Katana.
Man, I wish I got gifts like that from my parents 🙂
Did the first part of this post come off a bit George Carlin-esque?
Maybe it’s just me.
Hey I’ve done that. They DO NOT like it when you scream at the top of your lungs. Especially the cliched line “OH MY GOD, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” It also doesn’t help if you start rolling on the ground with laughter. They do however have a long, long talk about responsible people, and not watching so many Godzilla movies before landing. They confiscated my pixie-sticks. I was so sad, till my friend, who was a security guard, got them back, and he gave a five dollar gift certificate for the little chocolate shop there.
Coincidentally, I was out at my uncle’s farm on the 4th and shot his Colt Mark IV Series 80. Between that, his semiautomatic Thompson knockoff and my cousin’s M1 carbine knockoff, it was like an Iraqi wedding out there, except with less mustaches
I went to see my dad for the weekend and all I got was this lousy .32
I’m paying for the guns; my dad is just good at finding deals.
M1A1,
I can land them all in a human sized target at 25 yards; what else do you need?
Nice Fresh-Prince-of-Bel-Air quote 🙂
Ahh yes! Finally convinced CINC House to go shooting over the weekend (she’s British and has NEVER fired a hand gun before). A friend of ours from Jersey came down for the weekend and brought a Colt .357 Magnum and a 9mm (he also brought a .45 but the barrel had issues).
Anyway, we got to the range and we rented a .45 for the session ($6!) and started with that. The wife did well with the .45, pretty good with the .357 and very well with the 9mm. She had everything in the black with all 3 guns.
Now, here’s the best part: When I asked her which one she liked the best it brought a tear to my eye. “I REALLY like the .45!”
One of the best days of my life. I’ll be looking for a .45 this week. I’ve got my eye on the CZ 97B (per Kim du Toit’s recommendation). Any other suggestions?
If they are feeling grouchy they can have you arrested for yelling that.
But you’re perfectly safe asking the pilot when you leave “did we just land, or were we shot down”?
Hey that’s a great way to find a wife. You take her to the range and have a variety of hand cannons to shoot. If she likes the .45, she’s a keeper!
Slab out
Yea those legal fireworks suck. they make us use those in Utah too. But for futre refrence… there is this state called Wyoming….
