And oh hell no I'm not posting pics. But I expected that. 3 years of laying off. Still finding that post-cancer treatment doesn't mean you immediately return to normal in a hurry. The 3 middle toes of each foot are not yet completely back. And I understand from my reading that they may never be.
But the first bang reminded me of what I had missed. I didn't understand golf until I started shooting.
Yeah boy. Need to resume reloading asap.
On the way home I swung up to a new gun store to check it out and to see if they could recommended an armorer/gun smith. I had issues with both of my 9 mms. Turns out the guy on the counter is and he took both guns back. I'll find out tomorrow if the Kahr behaves but the trigger problem with the Barretta is fixed. It's beautiful.
While waiting the regulars and I were chatting and I commented about the troubles of certain cities not coming up here because too many of us are armed. Turns out BLM/Antifa has been trying. But there's a group monitoring them. And when they show up they are met by a quiet but armed group that heavily outnumbers them. And there is no crap. Because that quiet presence tells them that no crap will be tolerated. And this works.
Yay for getting back on the horse, so to speak! And glad you're getting the issues sorted out.
ReplyDeleteThe guys there were great and it didn't cost me anything. They just seemed happy to see me getting back in the game.
DeleteNow to navigate the shortages.
Glad to hear you're regaining your stride, so to speak. And the story about the "welcome committee" is heartening. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you! And yes, I recall when I lived there a certain public official whop signed off on my Form 4 for my M60 let me know that in an emergency they'd want to borrow it. I told him that I came with the gun as a package deal and we talked for quite some time over dinner one night about exactly where a gun like that should be placed to cut Route 9 and what sort of support the gun crew would need. Turned out we'd both been thinking along the same lines for quite a while and we'd both independently picked the same spot to put a block in place.
ReplyDeleteApparently BLM is planning to send several buses into Berkley Springs in the near future. Seems an odd place to do it - why not the capitol?
