Don't mess with an old man...he'll shoot you

[peternap]

I belong to one of the nicest gun clubs I've ever seen. It' also dirt cheap. It has a fantastic rifle and pistol range, archery range, club house with banquet facilities, 100 unit campground facilities with water, sewer and electric (They host the NRA Nationals) and an unbelievable skeet range with over 20 towers.

It's 3 miles from the farm and during the week, no one uses it. There is a live in grounds keeper who is a character from Maine and he gets along really well with all the members. The members range from dirt poor folk like me to some very wealthy people like the one you are about to meet.

After I got through blowing big holes in paper, I drove by the skeet range where the caretaker and one of the rich dude were having a contest. The member must be in hi late seventies and so crippled up he can hardly stand,,,much less walk. He sure can shoot though,

Whatever shotgun he uses, it is stunning, just beautiful. Anyway, they can electronicly throw the birds from any station with a remote that can trigger any tower, so they were just going from station to station and having a ball.

Since the member can hardly walk, he use the shotgin like a walking stick and short steps. The Caaretaker yelled out in his new england accent, "Tou eveh see someone with a seven thousand dolla cane befurh".

I got out to watch. Man can that guy shoot.

Wow! Nice range.

A lot greener than the 700 acres of desert that makes up our gun club range. 

$7K cane. Drool!

I've been looking for a good gun/shooting club here in Virginia and I have yet to find one that isn't back ordered in applications until the 2nd coming of Christ. Where is this one at, if you don't mind my asking, and is there a chance they might take little old me? I'd love to have a place to practice shooting clay pigeons or shoot my Mini-14. Right now the only place to shoot my Mini-14 year around is Fort Lee in Petersburg. There is a place in Amelia, but it's only open a few months out of the year, mainly deer hunting season. I live in Powhatan, but I'll make a drive to just about any place

I think you could get in.
This is a little drive for you...about 45 minutes.

PM me and I'll give you the details.

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD   
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.   

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message .
 
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!   
 
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].   
 
After I called your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!   
 
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]   
 
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
 
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 'S going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target .
 
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).   
 
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky . Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours ,
Alex
