My Gun Situation

I now have a variety of firearms that suit many situations. There are a couple nooks and crannies than I would like to fill (shooting at 700+ yards, pocket gun), but I’m very satisfied with my arsenal. I’m also very satisfied by the service I’ve received from The Range by Jimmy Primo’s in Madison/Gluckstadt, Mississippi. Alex is great! So are many others I’ve worked with!

I think the darling of my collection so far is my Beretta Cx4 Storm. I’ve only fired it on one occasion and look forward to becoming expert at it. It’s so elegant!!!

And I do think I like Beretta’s design aesthetic. It’s so ergonomic. I bought a Beretta pistol and it feels great.

And I have a couple BB and pellet guns by the back porch. I have found it useful to have the ability to project power across my backyard and scare off, for example, neighborhood cats who are thinking that they own my yard and are bullying my kitties. We can’t have that! I don’t want to physically harm or injure anyone, of course! But being able to make some noise and make a ruckus from a distance is very satisfying. I want my yard to be welcoming to all critters, be they birds, raccoons, possums, other nice kitties, frogs, etc., even wasps! And especially spiders! And slugs! Fortunately, I don’t have to resort to a BB gun to impart manners to a slug or a spider. Just a nudge or wave of a hand will suffice.

Okay, I’m done for now. I’m sure that my gun situation will surprise and dismay some of my friends, and I am looking forward to having whatever conversations that precipitates. Or not! Maybe stoney silence is name of the game. Silent judgement. We shall see.

As the mind opens, it takes upon itself the best it can hope to achieve.

Sundays in Mississippi are the worst place to be in the world probably.

For me, at least. 🙂 🙁

It’s like a dead day. A day of death, a lost day…. A day of nothingness, just a void to be filled with whatever you can do to ease your mind. I never thought Mondays would excite me as much as they do until I came here by way of practicality, frugality, and stinginess. . . . Because EVERYBODY is awake on MONDAY! :-)))))) But not really, or so I’m told, because, the party didn’t end on Saturday, when the city-folk probably would have drawn their line in the sand and then used Sunday to brush off the doldrums. No, Sunday is a party day, apparently! On which so much excitement and joy is squeezed out of the flock that they can’t bear to make Monday a real, honest-to-goodness, one-hundred-percent workday, on which things actually need to happen, in tangible reality, in concrete truth.

I’ll finish this later. I have a new project to work on and it can’t come a moment too soon! :-)))))) Stay tuned!
