I'm a liberal, but gosh-darnit I can shoot a gun!

This weekend marked a big event in Asheville: The Gun Show.  I'm pretty sure that every male within a 50 mile radius drove to such an event as this.  I did not.  It's not that I don't like standing in line at 7 on a cold Saturday morning with a bunch of NRA hungry men, I just don't have any interest in guns.

Well, after Handsome Taylor and friends bought their weapons, they came home with grins past their ears and proudly displayed them.  Extensive cleaning and polishing followed.

So yesterday, both Taylors took me and Leah out to a pasture to shoot.  There were cows, but I made sure that we were not going to shoot in the direction of any animal.  So we shot into a woody bank.


Our artillery of weapons.

Taylor B and Taylor H...and cows.


This gun had a lot more "kick-back" than I had assumed.  Because I was not standing correctly, it almost knocked me off my feet.  

Taylor about ready to shoot Leah's pink pistol.  He didn't want his picture taken.

Woohoo!


Taylor testing out his machine gun rifle thing.  Complete with scope.

Great...how do I work this again?
