    I was on my way out the door when one of the ladies in IT asked, "Hey do you want some ammo?" I thought she was kidding, so I said, "Sure. Wacha got?" She said, "I'm not sure. It's left overs from my divorce a couple of years ago, and I just found it in the closet. It's in my truck if you want to check it out." Turns out she had over 100 rounds of 12-gauge bird shot, and 50 rounds of .243win. I don't have guns for the ammo, but you know me:     You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire.

              In the municipality I work, you 2 would be criminals in about 4 different ways. Ex: It's illegal to possess ammo for a weapon you don't own.

                    While bird shot is a point in the general area sort of affair, a slug is less forgiving and does require you to aim.

                      Very nice and good luck with the new job. BTW: I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that me and the wife are being taken to a gun range next month. First time ever! Really looking forward to it.

                          Hogwash! The first time I got to use a Desert Eagle .50 or a Taurus 500 I jumped at the chance. Just make sure they give you proper guidance on how to hold the thing and how to hold yourself when you finally pull the trigger.

                            Hopefully their aim is better than JSOP's. If you have to go, better to go quickly.

                                I highly recommend getting a .243 rifle to go with the ammo. It's a fun caliber to shoot - very flat, fast trajectory - though it's not too great in thick brush. I once had a Browning .243 lever rifle that was a joy to shoot. If the storage company who had it locked up and illegally sold my unit hadn't screwed up, it would be my favorite firearm today.

                                Will Rogers never met me.

                                  Hogwash! The first time I got to use a Desert Eagle .50 or a Taurus 500 I jumped at the chance. Just make sure they give you proper guidance on how to hold the thing and how to hold yourself when you finally pull the trigger.

                                  Our mule is a an old 30's 40's Sears, Roebuck & Co. 12 Ga, with no recoil pad. Reserved for the noob lemme at 'em know it alls at the trap shoots. ;)

                                  It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                      That is similar to what I used while learning to shoot trap. It was a single shot 12 gauge with a solid wood stock. I had a bruise every day from that thing. Builds character I say!

                                          Forces you to learn good trigger squeeze technique and proper stance that's for sure.
