u might wanna run

yesterday, i shot guns. yes gunS, plural - a beretta 380, a 9 mil, a 357 magnum and an assault rifle (i KNOW!! an assault rifle!!!) i'm probably not the best person to have possession of a gun. cause i have a temper and if i was to become a little cranky while holding a gun, well, i don't know. might not be safe.

the elm fork shooting range is really, really, really loud and frequented by people in camouflage (deb and i could have handed out a LOT of fashion citations). the target shooting was a blast and certainly like no other activity i've ever done. i have uncle willy, deb, gerald and chris to thank for inviting me. i'd kind of like to buy a gun now (but won't for reasons described above).

holding a gun on jeff (see? i told you it wasn't safe):


uncle willy (otherwise known as 'gw') in action:


deb shows you can look beautiful while firing a gun:


don't get between gerald and his 357 magnum:

uncle willy:


and me with an 'ar 15' ('ar' means assault rifle for those of you who don't know the jargon yet):


the gang cooling off with some margaritas after a hard morning of popping off a lot of rounds of ammo (i already have the lingo down):

i expect the military to be calling any day now to recruit me to be a sharp shooter or sniper or something cool like that - what do they call those special marines? wonder if they let you have guns in the uae. i bet i can't carry one on in my luggage. do air marshals get to 'carry'? really, i'm thinking about going pro. i am.

its my last week in dallas for a while. my focus this week is to consume as much queso as possible (perhaps i should just layer it on my rear end) and achieve a tex-mex coma. 

love and bullets (good name for a band),
