    Yes, it was my son, not my step son.

    My youngest daughter may be disappointed though. She is all about a single shot .22 rifle, a box of ammo, and shooting all day. The meets are usually too hectic for me to consider them a good range day if you really want to put some rounds down range.

    I will make sure they all get to put atleast a few rounds down range though.

    Bring her. LMAO
    She's from Chicago. Maybe she doesn't like guns.

    OTOH, one of the best experiences of my life was when my employer was training everyone in the country, in rotating groups, in Dallas. One of the support people was a clerk from Chicago who had never handled a firearm. Since I was semi-local, I was arranging weekend activities for the trainees. I took that girl with a group to a range in Dallas that rented full-autos. The first and only firearm she ever handled in her life was the H&K MP5 that I picked out for her. With every magazine and every longer burst, her confidence grew. So did the grin on her face, that, I swear, lasted a couple of weeks till she went home.

    To see someone going from scared shitless of guns to "Holy Shit, this is fun!" in the course of 5 minutes was one of the most satisfying things I've accomplished in my life.

    Shes not anti-gun. My dad had quite a few of them when I was a kid. Thats how I got into them. Shed just rather use me to take her shopping, since she cant drive a stick shift. Which Im guessing she would want to go to My Thanh (however its spelled) in Austin after I pick her up.
