ORIGINAL: LadyEllen NG - have you ever owned a gun? I take it you havent, otherwise you wouldnt be asking the question! I have - three in fact. An air rifle and an air pistol - which barely count as guns I know, but still. The third was a 12 bore matchlock musket, which I owned for battle reenactment (ECW). It was a wonderful thing - three shots per minute when you really get good with loading;powder, wad, projectile, wad, return ramrod, prime, blow the match to glowing, open the pan, pull the trigger, poof! one cloud of sulphury smoke, and whatever you were aiming at was blown to bits! The only bad thing about it was cleaning the thing - gun powder makes such a mess. Obviously, we didnt use projectiles in battle reenactment by the way - bit too dangerous that. But using it for target shooting and clay pigeon shooting was brilliant! Nothing more satisfying! It was classed as a shotgun - indeed we used shot if actually shooting more than smoke for reenactment, but it could take a large ball too (but totally illegal to do so) that would rip someone in half (thus the ban). I would never shoot someone or an animal NG, and I appreciate the argument that shooting someone/an animal is the purpose of weapons, but that just isnt me. Something I'd like to do one day is visit Las Vegas - where in the surrounding desert I understand, one can take a tour which includes shooting off machine guns - not just the little ones, but the proper machine guns. I cant think of anything more exciting! But then, I am a nutter, as you know! What I do not understand, is why as a law abiding, reasonably sane, tax paying, educated and intelligent person - I should not be allowed to own a gun? After all, the lawbreaking, insane, low browed wasters involved in crime seem to be able to have one. E You must mean Front Sight, its a tactical firearms training institute that specilizes in personal security. The key word being training, it is not just some lacluster gun range, it's a world class place for teaching firearms usage and even some unarmed ability. I went back when I was 18, best part was getting trained on the Cobray M11. If your going just to shoot though, dont bother, not only will you get turned away but you'll find the prices are not for you. If you wanna just come to Vegas to shoot the main tourist attraction is The Gun Store, thats the whole name, where you can shoot just about any weapon of your choice.
