Beet1e, you got some 'splaining to do (lucy)
« Reply #120 on: October 10, 2003, 08:05:08 AM »
yep beetle.. you will find that it is simply... fun.

Yesterday the head engineer on the project had to speak before the city officials and then latter to a citizens group.   He was a little tense after he spoke to us and had about an hour or so to kill before the presentation to the citizens committee.

To kill the time he wanted to go with me out to the project.   He was really wound up and distracted.   I asked him if he wanted to relieve some tension and.... after esxplaining that no, I was not coming on to him... I asked him if he wanted to shoot some handguns out at the project... He had only rented a gun, a glock, one time and didn't know anything about em but wanted to try..

I had the Dan wesson 44 that needed to be shot and we also grabed the Kimber and the little James bond gun the PPK in .32.

I spent the time showing him gun handling and watching him and.... taking ictures of him in  suit firing these weapons.

He was babling the whole time between actually shooting and all the way back... He said he felt like a new man and had no stress at all.

must be worth sumthin..

well... we set up a bunch of tiles against the bank... they make good "reactive" targets.... they explode and send pieces 10 foot in all directions... this has a very soothing effect on the male of the species... it seems to work on most females also.

Lazs, do you still have that Walther PPK available? I prefer it to the Beretta, but don't tell M!

Slightly OT:

The Walther PPK has two claims to fame;   one is that 007 uses it, the other is.......?

Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

Oh... and a whole lot of "undesireables", men women and children were shot in the back of the head with em in WWII.

They are pretty accurate guns really but back in the sixties guys used to joke that "how accurate they gotta be for head shots at 2 feet?"

the PPK is a great gun with a very bad rep.

yes beetle... It is in the safe 10 feet from me this very moment...you can shoot it to your little hearts content.   while you are here.   When you go home you are on your own.
