Mike got his new gun!

Mike got home Friday morning from being offshore- not sure if he'll be in through Thanksgiving, but my fingers are crossed!!

So Mike was excited about his last paycheck, and he's been wanting to get his own gun for a while now- I got a gun about a year or so ago and learned how to use it- for my protection since I'm home alone a lot. It's a Smith and Wesson .38cal  snub nose 5 shot revolver. I like it : ) 

So I told him we could afford for him to get his gun finally this month- he picked out a Smith and Wesson also, his is .40cal semi-automatic. He likes his a lot : )

We have a friend Tim who works at the apartments that we live in, our roommate Josh works with him so that's how we got to know him. He lives out in the boonies, so when Mike told him he was getting a new gun, he offered to have us come out to his house, he lives on a bunch of acreage where he shoots his guns off for practice fairly often. We figured this was a much cheaper alternative that going to the shooting range where I first learned- it can get pretty expensive there! And the bonus was that Tim let us try some of his guns too- Josh shot a shotgun for his first time, I shot a .22cal rifle, Mike and Josh both shot a .50cal muzzle loader. I should have gotten more pictures of the guns, but I mostly just got a few of us shooting and some videos as well. Here there are, thought you would enjoy viewing our day today! : )
