Who had a camera in hand? Yes, it would be funny, but would depend on if you met going in or coming out!

When I was at the 101st ABN back in the late 80's, we had the .45 grease gun on our "books" for $20. My assumption was that the government used the original purchase price for the weapon (back during WWII or sometime immediately after) as the replacement cost. Never got to fire it, but I had plenty of fun on the range with the M-2 (.50 caliber machine gun) and the M-60.

Good luck on your marriage........I've been extremely luck because I have 20 years from my 1st (and last) time at bat.

BTW....Can’t resist being an *********, but do you want an Appalachian State T-shirt to replace your old tired/worn-out Michigan shirt?

Cheers, fellow Pelicans.



Still more fun was had preparing to put certain of our brethren first against the wall when the Revolution comes:



That's a Grease gun (full auto). There were also fully automatic Uzis, HK MP5s, Stens, Thompsons, M16A2s and a M249 (FN Minimi or "SAW") involved. The SAW I fired is one of only 9 in civilian hands in all the world. I've got a movie of me firing the SAW (happiness is a belt-fed weapon!!!), which I'd link if I could find a place to host it (or post pix if I was sophisticated enough to do captures to post). The SAW would look great on the hood of the 930 for those left-lane 55 mph jacka$$es.

FYI, they make you hang the silhouette targets upside-down not because they want you to get used to shooting at Kiwis (*coughCamBcough*) or other down-under targets of opportunity, but so when gun "climbs" during fire, you don't take out the target transport cabling or put holes in the ceiling. Like I'm some kind of rookie...

Here's my friend Tami and me at the Bellagio during the watershow (Tami and I were introduced by our Wichita P-head colleague kepperly during my recent visit to KS ... and by the sheerist of coincidence Tami happened to be in Vegas during my visit. Thank you, Keith ...):



Oh, what you can't see in that photo...

And Tabs' and my new friend Shannon (the barwench at the venue of our conspiracy and a cub member of the LV Chamber of Commerce, evidently):




Vegas. Baby.

JP
dude, I never would have put you two fellas together, too funny!
