If you visit Alaksa/Yukon, we'll have to take you out to shoot some big mammal (not katmai).

But if you give me a gun, you are in far greater danger than the bear.  I'll just fumble all the time  :lol:

Besides firing a .22 way way back in summer camp, only the M-16 at basic training.

If I were ever able to deploy, I'd likely shoot that and the 9mm.

If Anchorage actually had an indoor gun range, I'd probably have picked up a pistol by now.

Probably one of these....

:wub: They still use 1911s as service pistols or do you get some option to select a service pistol or something?
Experience bij!

Never used a gun - except water and air gun when I was young

Where the heck have you been?  You've hardly posted since vM screwed up the old foru--I mean since vM upgraded us to this place.

Mostly elsewhere... ;)

Nah, they phased them out in the 90s IIRC.

I'm not a US citizen, so I assume that my chances of getting a permit there is about zero.  I happen to have a Canadian passport, but I have no idea how difficult it is to get a gun permit in Canada.  If not for languish I won't even think about this kind of thing.

I may be wrong...but if you stopped at a gun store in Alaska, they'd probably wouldn't even care if you're a US citizen.  And you sure as hell don't need a permit.

How much does the cheapest shotgun cost?  US$10k?  US$15k?  I have no idea. 

:lol:  You can get a cheap Chinese shotgun for just over $100 IIRC.

Yes. I think I shot a 9mm...maybe...or a revolver...or some sort of hand gun. I was too much of a pussy to shoot the shot gun though. Although I missed the drawn target, I did hit the box that the target was drawn on so I consider than a win. ^_^
I want my mother fucking points!

My wife, despite her awkward stance, can sometimes shoot more accurately than I can with my Glock model 17 :blush:

  Adopt the stance and beat her.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Good to see you back, even if you missed my obvious "fishing for Handel Points" attempts. :cheers:
