Hello all,

I was recently in Vegas and went to The Gun Store (http://www.thegunstorelasvegas.com) for some full-auto fun. I shot a Thompson sub machine gun. As far as I could tell, it was a real 20's - 40's vintage weapon cambered in .45 ACP. It was SWEET! I'd never fired a full-auto rifle/carbine before and was a thrill. Thanks to the Gun Store for making this available.

Small OC content -- as I was waiting for the bus to go back to my hotel, an employee left the store and went down a couple of businesses to get a cold drink and a sandwich. He OCed the whole way. Sadly, we can't do that in Texas.

Bob is all about making money, damn Capitalist!!!!:lol:

If you really want to shoot FA just head over to Desert Sportman's during one of the monthly Sub-gun matches.
Be sure to bring cash and plenty of factory loaded ammo 9mm and 45Acp, someone will usually let newbies use their gun (to get them hooked) as a friendly jesture.

Damn, I miss shooting those matches.
