Yes, Clem -- you are almost correct. I am a gun collector, and own a lot of them. In Arizona one may carry a gun, but only as long as it is visible, and may not have a loaded gun very available in ones car. I got the permit so that I can have a loaded gun HANDY (convenient? sous la main?) in my cars, as I feel it is my right to defend myself against attackers.
-
The permit also makes it a little easier to buy guns, as it eliminates one of the inquiries required of the seller.

Well, anyway, Clem, I have decided to marry you after all. A green-eyed blonde who likes guns and knows how to shoot them is just too great to pass up! Yes, shooting is a major hobby of mine, and I have had some success in target matches, having earned a "master" rating in Olympic Rapid-Fire Pistol shooting. But I haven't gone to "big" contests because I do not like the pressure of competition. I only shoot at targets -- I do not go hunting, as I like animals too much. (Incidentally, in my shooting test for my permit, I was using a fifty-year-old gun -- I prefer the old ones to the new, plastic ones.)
-
So, tell us what kind of guns you have shot. Pistol? Revolver? Rifle?, Shotgun? All of them? At a shooting range? (champ de tir?)
-
Geez, make sure you always wear ear-protection (oreille-bouchon?). My hearing is bad because I did not wear ear-plugs in my early days.
-
I wish you were here -- I am going out tomorrow morning to the shooting range to test two guns that I have been fixing. I would love to take you along for some fun shooting! :sm4: The temperature here is attaining 40 degrees these days, so I have to go VERY early in the morning to avoid it.
