Several people have kindly mentioned that they would like to meet up with other board members while on tour. I would like to reverse the offer:



If your travels bring you through the DC, Annapolis, Baltimore, let me know. If I am available I can come by and grab you, run you by the market, laundry, bar, or just get you away from the bus/van for a while.

If I'm free, I'll extend the offer.

If you come to Greenville/Spartanburg or Columbia Sc and want to get shown around by a local hit me up. I'm free during the middle of the day so if you needed someone to go on a supply run, I'm available.



Also if you wanted some real southern BBQ and can provide $100 to cover costs, I can provide 20 Lbs of Q as well as some sides. I'd need to know at least 2 weeks in advance as cooking takes 14 hours(plus 2 hours of prep time the day before).

Re: Reverse, Inverse hospitality

At one point in my life I actually had a pellet gun range set up in the living room. Kick back in the daddy chair to the TV on a winter sunday and shoot targets with the CO2 pistol.





At another point I actually had a boat in my living room. It reminded me of a line I heard from a friends girlfriend. My friend was claiming he wasn't a biker, but when his girlfriend pointed out he was rebuilding a harley in his living room, he didn't have much to say.

To the peanut gallery: Gun's fault, not mine. The fact that only the wall was shot should be evidence of my safe gun handling.

Note to self: In the presence of Bennett, body armor must be worn.

Also double check when he counts how many chambers he was off when he closes his revolver cylinder. You may just loose a hand.

I've since fixed it, but in case you ever wondered what #4 steel shot in a 3'' shell out of a 20ga shotty does to 5/8'' drywall, here's your answer:

It was loud. That gun is compensated, too, so it was very loud. I cannot recommend it.
 
Re: Reverse, Inverse hospitality

It would be silly to load it into a firearm after someone tried to kill you. However, I mostly find that it promotes safe gun handling when you treat all guns as though they are loaded because they are. Eliminates fooling around.

My question - did the neighbors call the police? You said it was ''very loud'' ... did anyone outside your residence notice?



Just curious

Yeah right, its always the tool, not the user.

I remember when I first got my Mossberg 590 w/ speed-feed stock and vented barrel. Took it to a friends house to show how heavy it was loaded with 3'' deer slugs. After repeatedly telling him it was loaded, sitting on the couch, right beside me, BANG. He shoots a deer slug through the roof of his house. Went all the way through and left a nice clean hole for him to patch. Now that was LOUD!!

So, explain to me how loading live ammo into a firearm, indoors, when there's not someone there trying to kill you qualifies as safe gun handling?

Indoors, outdoors, what's the diffo--other than in the latter case the nearest wall might be farther off? Actually in my Vermont house, indoors might be safer, because if something goes BANG at an inopportune moment, it goes nowhere after it hits that log wall; nothing's going to get outside.



Also, when going CCW (or even OC), I always try to make sure the pistol is loaded before I go out.
