I recovered sufficiently from last night's fall down stairs to go to the range for a littlewhile today. Shot until I was sufficiently sore and then departed. Bridget wanted to go to MacArthur, but I was pretty sure they were anti-gun so we went to Waterside where I knew everyone had been to Hooters several times after entertaining the Norfolk City Council or other business downtown.
We actually stopped to read the VERY small print of the "rules" posted to the right of the doors you enter through when coming from the parking garage. Near the bottom, Bridget read "No Firearms".
I was simply :what:at the thought, but we entered anyway. We passed several unarmed security guards and they didn't even notice we were BOTH OCing. I asked how "noticeable" my new Kimber was and she said "VERY!" We walked around inside, then outside to see the boats. I was also very interested to see a new sign posted in the bushes in front (waterfront side)of Watersidethat declared the outside areas a "park" that was open from sunrise to sunset. I laughed out loud at their feeble attempt to cut down on the crime rate. How creative! Take the victims out of the picture and you have no more crime! Brilliant!
Going off on a tangent...
OT: That's as entertaining Military Circle Mall security morons harassing me for using a WALKING STICK! While visiting there about a year ago, a MallPutz-SecurityClownconfronted me about "carrying a weapon". Since I had installed a "cane tip" to prevent it from slipping, he took my word that I was disabled. I went on to describe mycar that was parked close to the doors in a disabled parking spot and then asked himif he had any doubts about my status.
This is the same place that has had more shootouts than the OK Corral, but they want to take a walking stick away from a disabled white man?
I guess if my trousers had been hanging past my buttocks with circus-colored boxer shortsclearly visible in their entiretyand a "nine-milly" tucked somewhere I can't even bring myself to thinking about;
I would have been allowed to walk through the mall with 10 of myHomeys in the middle of the day, the middle of the week,wearing jewelry valuedmore than my .45 caliber pistol collection completely unmolested...
Its 11am in the middle of the week... D you know where your school-aged children are???
Still OT: Want an education and some cheap entertainment at the same time? If you can go during the day (or at night if you bring Craig), visit Military Circle. Definitely don't go unarmed. You'll be outgunned regardless, but you have a better chance of encountering fewer scumbags. This is an OC board, but I would recommend CCing all the way on this field trip. You need the COMPLETE experience of the whole place. It istruly an interesting sociological experience.
I'm game for the trip anytime. Send me a PM and let's go there for lunch!!!
