Maybe we could line up some thing over at Blue Ridge. I'll talk to them and see what I can find out.
Good deal. I'm game.

For next time, Red, Hot and Blue seems to be fun friendly. I've OC'ed there before and not had a problem.
No prob. Which Red Hot Blue was that?
Its the Kingstown Center one. Its in the Landsdowne Shopping Center (6482 Landsdowne Centre
Alexandria, VA 22315) at the intersections of Beulah and Telegraph Roads. Its about 3-5 minutes from the range.

I know where that is. Red Hot Blue is decent food. That sounds like a good plan. I'm surprised as Kingstowne is liberal central.

What was your name again??? :hysterical:

No problem. We'll have to do it again and it was indeed a group effort. I havent looked at the pics. I only took a couple. I'll post them up later.

Hey Thanks for the invite it sure was fun on Sunday(and costly ***New Gun***but well worth it ).
It was all I could do to get my son to shut up as he had so much fun. I want to thank all of you for letting us have a go with shooting your pistols. My son really liked the Sig .40 cal and says that he will get one in Feb once he turns 21.

I am up for doing this again if we can find locations that will have us as a group.

Here are some pics from the shoot and greet. Sorry for taking so long...as GS78 would say..."I'm just sayin... :whistle: " And, as most of you would expect I took some liberties with captioning...

I wonder if Greybeard was really serious about kicking me in the butt if I shoot at his target again...

Hope you got that gnome. He was asking for it!

Graybeard - Can you tell me about that revolver you very kindly let me shoot? I can't remember much (except it was SWEET!). Was it a .38? I really liked the feel of it. Thanks!
