I woke up this morning in a pretty foul mood and made the statement on Twitter that I just wanted to shoot some shit today. Not “shoot the shit” but literally shoot something. The number of immediate sympathetic responses made me think of this:
Shooting ranges in office buildings. I think this would cut the number of people “going postal” to virtually zero. Who is going to take a gun into a building to try to do some damage when everyone there has guns?
Besides, I think it would increase employee productivity and morale. You have a bad evaluation–take your break and go fire off a few magazines. Exhausted and frustrated from with a completely moronic client? Time for a time-out in the shooting range! A promotion is on the line between two candidates and the boss can’t decide? Settle it with some target shooting!
Yes, I’m being facetious. (Kind of.) I just know if I had started my day shooting through two magazines of .45 ammo or even just popping some targets with a .22 I could have shot this mood out rather than having it potentially settle in for the day. So this silly little post is for everyone who wanted to indulge a fantasy of harmlessly shooting their cares away today.
Penis envy much?
Otherwise known as FIAF.
Second!
Going to the range is one of the activities that always decreases my blood pressure and just makes me a better person to be around in general.
The other is mowing the yard–riding mower of course, I think my push behind days are behind me.
Don’t sell yourself short, C-boy, you probably have plenty of “push behind” days ahead of you. You just haven’t met the right hairy midget yet.
I drive right by my rod & gun club/range each morning on my way to work. If I didn’t feel like I should be there at the “proper” time each day, I’d probably stop some days and empty a few mags. It would likely further reduce the risk of road rage on my commute.
I live in Mass. – there is NFW they would allow ranges in multi-business buildings, or even single business buildings, unless the occupant is also the owner. And even then, the laws make starting a new range so much trouble, it would never happen. But we could dream.
And only a tiny dick metro-sexual would equate wanting to have some fun shooting with penis envy.
Have you met Carin, she strikes me as being blind, crazy and crippled.
Crank through a couple of clips for me Falahime…
But use .45 please, because I’m a large caliber kind of guy !
My handgun of choice is IMI “Desert Eagle” in .44 magnum; but I strapped a 1911 for years…
No prob…for Christmas last year I got a ton of .223 and .45 ammo, so .45 it is!
Bob, my wife recently got her concealed carry permit. As we were driving home, I asked her what type (caliber) she was thinking of getting. I thought she’d want something smaller, so it was easier to carry and didn’t weigh as much – like a .22 or maybe a .38. She says: “A .45. They felt good to shoot. Or maybe a .357″
God, I love that woman.
She probably cares so much about you that when the time comes she doesn’t want to have to shoot you twice, a-dog.
Hahahaha!
You pop-gun sissies crack me up.
Nice AD,
Try the Colt Cammander officer’s ACP. It’s a bit smaller and easier to handle. I also think there are some nice small frame .357’s on the market now.
Being a big igre myself, I prefer the large frame pieces, and am definitely in the semi-auto camp-all the way!
I am not small myself – I currently like the full size 9mm in the all metal frames, like the Browning. I picked that mostly because of cost – I haven’t gotten to the point of doing my own reloading yet, and 9mm is much cheaper than .45 ACP. But I will admit, while the size and weight are nice, they are not small enough to be what I would call discrete.
“pop-gun sissies” – really, thor? I bet you’re frightened by squirt guns – too manly for tuckers like you.
Fuck pussy pop-guns, a-dog, my druthers in handling your type of sissy waffendouche requires only a bullwhip and a fence post.
HAhahahaha!
I wonder if it’s against the Geneva Convention if you put a r-winger in a cage and set a .45 just out of its reach.
A bullwhip and a fence post? Sounds an awful lot like a whipping administered to a slave – are you that racist, thor?
And “if you put a r-winger in a cage“: you couldn’t put a deflated ballon in cage, you window licking little turd.
I still covet the Glock 21 myself. 13 rounds of .45 ACP should be plenty for most freelance social work scenarios.
A friend of mine has one and it’s an awesome piece.
It is a little on the largish size, though. The double-stack magazine makes the grip pretty bulky.
My concealed is a .45 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Yes, it makes for a heavy purse, but I like to know that it’ll do the job.
Tried and true since 1911!
Did you hear about the guy that got his LSD and LDS mixed up? Instead of going on a trip he went on a two year mission.
Ba-Da-Bing
Reading this and knowing my sister had fun recently getting her concealed weapons permit makes me want to do this too.
I highly recommend it (duh, huh?). You learn so much in the process and it made me a lot more confident knowing how to use my pistol effectively and understanding the legalities of it all.
I’m more the “I swear to God I could choke a kitten right now” type. That’s probably never ok, huh?
No, but I think pigs are out of politcal favor right now. You could try them (and as a bonus, you’d have all the bacon and ham that you’d want.) Be careful though – they are mean and bite hard when they get bigger.
Business note to Rocket Bob: Big idea for new business – plastic vibrating pussy pistols.
Pink multi-speed design can be quickly prototyped from largest long barrel Smith & Wesson.
Marketing expense negligible, Bristol Palin’s agent says she’s desperate for work.
Report back to HQ when you have the start-up cost numbers, Bob.
I’m sure that they already exist, but will leave the search to you.
And Bristol needn’t worry about her future; her mommy got a ton of cash on a book deal, and cost of living ain’t too bad in Alaska from what I understand.
Good point concerning Bristol and the Britney Spears wealth phenomenon.
Ideas for high-end model design amenities: gold-plated trigger that adjusts speed, built in MP3 player that emits low-toned grunts of r-wingered caveman type, infrared g-spot locater and air freshener spritz capability.
Surely we can successfully penetrate the upper moneyed market with a pricier toy.
I used to go to the range with my buddy and we’d take along one or two people from the ranks with us.
Frigging blast. And about the only bonus of my buddy dying on me is I inherited his 2 9mm sidearms and his 22 rifle. Oh, and his shotgun and about 3000 rounds of ammo.
3000 rounds! That’s a lot of boom-boom! I was never a fan of 9’s, but they will ultimatley do the job…
I also have a 9mm – a carbine of all things – fuc88ng fun to shoot.
Carbine-very handy for close engagement. And if you run out of ammo you can beat ‘em with it like a club!
I wonder why it is I started my day out with such promise and blew it all right off the bat.
I am just waiting for Five to go home. Primus isn’t even working right now.
You have my sympathy. Primus is in no way a replacement for a semi-auto.
I used to shoot a lot with my Dad using his flintlocks and percussion muzzle-loaders. Ah, love the smell of black powder.
Now that I’m in Texas, anything is possible as a place to shoot…especially here in the sticks.
Hey Falahime, I love teh shooting. I keep meaning to go to the shooting range IN the city here. I hear it’s really popular.
