“Let’s go shootin!” - Rich
Hmm, I think it’s safe to say I had another eventful night with my buddies Michelle, Rich, and Homeslice. Rich bought himself a new toy as an early Christmas gift to himself last week. (9mm hand gun) So of course we’ve all been wanting to go out and shot it, but there has been some iffy questions about if we could go down to the river and fire it off. Rich finally tracked down a county sheriff and he told us there weren’t any laws against it while in the county. So that basically gave us the go head to go down to the river and fire it off into the water since no one goes fishing out there anymore; besides most of the people that live near there go out there for that reason. With that fact found out we made plans to meet up today to go down there and fire off some rounds. Originally we were supposed to go at 12, but no one woke up on time. Then when we finally got a hold of each other to meet up no one showed up to the house until dark; Rich is kind of iffy about shooting after dark. So finally Rich gets here and tells me the bad news, “Something thing is wrong with the spring that kicks out the empty shell.” That meant we had to search the net to find the maker of the gun and of course we had no luck. But Rich was the one searching so that’s why we had no luck.
Fixing the gun…
30 mins go by before Michelle calls and let’s us know that John has some gun knowledge and that maybe he could figure out how to take the gun apart for us to fix it. Dad tried to be help to us, but he didn’t have one like Rich’s. So we load up the Jeep with Rich, Homeslice, and me to head over to Michelle’s place. We get there and let John fool around with it for a few minutes while the wrest of us do more searching on the net for the manufacture. After awhile they finally figure out how to take it apart and start the work of fixing it. So about 30-45 mins later the gun is fixed and we’re all ready to go shooting. Every ones is hyped again and we can’t wait to light up the water down there. We tried to convince John to go with us, but he didn’t want to go so we all left without him. We hit up the store for some drinks and then made our way down to the river.
The river…
We pull into the turn off for the river and take the nice bumpy muddy trail to the boot drop. When we got around the bin we saw there were a few people near the spot we wanted to go. They had a bond fire going and were standing around talking. A group of country boys and girls; well we figured it didn’t matter to them so we pulled on down there. We got down the ramp, go the gun loaded, and made sure everyone was clear of the firing area. Rich went first and let off 3 shots into the water; nice and loud! We stop to pick up the shell casings before I take my turn. After we find he’s we make the chose of letting everyone else go before we start to pick them up again. I take my 3 shots, Michelle takes 2 of hers, and that was break time to reload. While Rich reloaded Michelle, Homeslice, and I took the flashlight and looked around for the empty shells. Once we were loaded and ready to shot again Michelle took her last shot; then Homeslice took he’s 3 shots. After that we took the clip out, the one round in the chamber, and proceeded to pick of our empty shells. We found 9 out of the 12 shells and figured that was ok b/c we did find most of them.
Riding around/The End…
After that we road around for a bit shooting the shit and looking for something to do. We hit Wally World to see if they had a battery for my video camera so we could do some home movie making of our crazy antics. They didn’t have one; so after talking to a few people I know that work there we hit the road. We dropped Michelle off so her and John could make it to the movies and the wrest of us went to cause chaos somewhere else. After bothering Cedric, getting something to eat, and arguing about what to do this weekend we finally made it home. I’m sure this finally week of from work will be full of more interesting things to come…Later Days
