I had to go win some Lisa votes at Birchwood today. My friends insisted upon taking me shooting since they told me that was the only way I could blend in with the true Alaskans. They held my family photo hostage until I agreed. After a week of stalling and trying to get out of it, I showed up and went with them to the shooting range. I shot the first gun - it was a long big one - sorry I have no clue what I shot but I asked them to call Eric and give a gun report. I managed to maintain my composure and apparently did a pretty good job. It went downhill from there. They gave me an AK-47 - I shot it once and screamed "OK I'm done. No. No. No. Ain't gonna happen." Then they made me shoot a handgun - same reaction. I have learned that not only am I still not a gun fan, I'm definitely not a kick back gun fan. My friends and the clientele were highly amused by my antics. I'm pretty sure the gun range clientele knew I didn't fit in............there were tons of snickers and finger pointing.
