Had the range to my self for about an hour today - then three vehicles show up, all older folks, the youngest of the 6 or 7 (Approximately 65~70) of them asks.
"I have on an old Korean war vet who lost his legs, he still likes to shoot but it is too hard for him to get around.
Would it be OK with you if we pull the JEEP up and he shoots from the JEEP?"
(Internal three count to make sure no one started laughing to make sure I was not getting punked)

One
Yes sir, I'd be MORE than happy to let someone who wore AMERICA'S Varsity team uniform shot on Constitution day
(The gentleman had no idea today was Constitution day
(For those playing the home game: Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787, recognizing all who, are born in the U.S. or by naturalization, have become citizens. ))
It appears he was shooting a 30/30 bolt action, at the 50 yard target lane. IT WAS LOUD from inside a JEEP.
I shook his hand and thanked a brother veteran - as I am supported but those that came before me, as I support up those that follow in service to our country.
Obligatory picture because no one will believe unless you see it with your own eyes!
