Skills that should be possessed by Gentlemen and Gentlelady Adventurers, lest they find themselves unprepared for Adventure in its myriad forms.

Just wanted to make a quick official mention of the Project 2000 Shooting Range, which was the the site of our Guns & Ammo Adventure.  It was an excellent establishment, and is highly recommended by our League.  The atmosphere was safe, and the staff was incredibly helpful to a bunch of obvious amateurs such as ourselves.  We particularly recommend trying the Smith & Wesson Model 500.

Andy firing the biggest handgun bullet in the world

This is me firing the Smith & Wesson Model 500 on our recent shooting trip.  This gun is made for shooting bears and elk.  Seriously.  You may have seen its longer-barreled cousin in Resident Evil.  Even Popular Mechanics bowed to its almighty absurdity: Smith & Wesson Model 500 .50-Cal. Magnum Is The King Of Handguns.

Wherein the Gents discuss a recent trip to the shooting range, what guns they shot, and whether cocktails are a necessary (or appropriate) accompaniment to firearms. Also some discussion, and disagreement, as to the utility of firearms for home defense.

On the Agenda:

  1. Opening Toast, by Lee Dunteman
  2. Open Discussion on the subject of “Guns and Ammo”
  3. Amazing Contraptions: The Davy Crocket
  4. Closing Toast, by Gregory Bass
