Guns, and important lessons therein.....
So, I went to a shooting range for the second time in my life, and found out that I am a pretty deadly shot. I shot a .45, a 9mm, and a .22 (in that order, actually) and had a blast (ha ha). But I did learn one VERY important lesson:
Never wear a tank top to a shooting range.
See, the burning-hot shell casings have a tendency to fly everywhere, including down your shirt. My poor babies!!! They now have several nasty-looking welts on them, and it hurt like....well, like a lot. But apparently I handled it like a pro, cause the first thing I did was *not* reach into my shirt, but put the loaded gun down :)
I had a really good time, and will definitely be back. With proper clothing next time :P
This Life Lesson(tm) was brought to you by the letter G, and by the color red, which is the color of the burns :(
