You aren't a nut, really. I've carried Goldern Sabres since I asked my old family doctor (who was Ship's Surgeon aboard USS IOWA during Korea) what he thought about different rounds.

He had experience in Korea and into private practice in Norfolk at DePaul until he retired in the early 80's. He had performed surgery on many gunshot victims over the years. When I showed him a Golden Sabre and asked what he thought about them, he told me he had taken two of them out of a guy that tried to rob the Tinee Giant convenience store on Thole (near Tidewater Dr). he said they had done so much damage inside the guy it looked like "a bomb had gone off inside him". he couldn't save the guy because the rounds had "grabbed" stuff during expansion and pulled them right through the exit point. There was no chance of repairing the guy's intestines because so much was MISSING from the area. You can't fix what isn't there anymore. That gave me a warm fuzzy about carrying them...

That brings me back to this past Sunday when I was teaching my friend Lauren how to shoot. I held up a 115gr CCI 9mm round and a 124gr Speer Gold Dot +P next to each other and told her that she wanted to get hit with the FMJ target round if she ever got shot and wanted to shoot BG's with the Gold Dot. Then I explained why and she gave me the :shock: face when I was talking about the Gold Dot. :p

She actually disagrees with me that I should carry and was skeptical about shooting. She did very well I was happy with her shooting. Lauren is one of my best girl friends:) I need to get my friend Taylor shooting now! She wants to get her CHP when she turns 21 and wants to carry something in her purse. :celebrateMy friends don't like the fact that I carry, but know that it's me and I think that is why they are not against it.

Tell Taylor she doesn't have to wait until she's 21, she can OC now :^). Then tell her about OCDO..

She disagrees with open carry and her parents are VERY strict. It isn't worth it. I'm going to take her shooting soon and maybe I can get her into that first then work from there:lol: I'm lucky these girls love me even though I'm a gun nut:shock:

If you want to take Bridget shooting with you when you have the girls with you, you're more than welcome to. She'll go to the range anytime! Your female friends would be pleasantly suprised by an 18 year old female OC'er I would think.

If I ever bring any of them down I will certainly let you know. I think the big convincing factor for these girls to come down here is VA beach lol

Cool. Sorry, I thought they were local ODU girls, not NOVA girls. Bridget needs to find some "like-minded" friends around here her age... I have my application for Lafayette pending :?... We'll see how long THAT takes. I think I need to wait until someone dies, first.

:cuss:

Yea they are NOVA girls. I am not at ODU on the weekends much. I'm either at CNU, JMU, VT, or at home in NOVA. I usually get to the range at night during the week when it's quiet.

Hey you should introduce me to them! Then they'll see that its not just you who OCs and that other perfectly normal people do it (well maybe not perfectly normal! hahaha:uhoh: )

Maybe when you're back we can hit up the range? If we go to SEG I can bring some guns I don't shoot often for a change (I've only shot my carry guns for the past 6 months).

that'd be cool too! I have access to some neat guns I could probably bring, like an M1 Carbine, Colt AR15 (20"), folding stock AK, etc.) and my own "tacticool" shotgun :lol:

If you shoot slugs you can shoot on the regular range. If you want to shoot buckshot or whatever you have to talk to the RO and set up special targets.

I knew ammo was getting hard to find, but if i had to pay that i would just sale my guns and take up fishing or something.

Edit: Second thought, I wonder how much i could sell my 500 rounds of .40 for :shock:
