Sunday Shooting

1/17/2016

We spent our Sunday afternoon, in the cold, windy, grey skied weather, aiming down iron sights, drinking coffee, and enjoying our 2nd Amendment. The single most satisfying thing you do with clothes on, the boys and I wielded .45, 9mm, and 12 gauge tech with fun and fury. We annihilated targets and enjoyed ourselves completely. Diner eating afterward completed our good 'ol American outting. The slideshow below shows our success and shenanigans (all safe and with good trigger control).

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
