Vons, WAMU, Orosco Ridge and Domino's Pizza

So today it was decided that a range trip was necessary, as Macadelic4 (Matt W) has never been to Orosco Ridge and my friend Matt (henceforward known as "Matt") hasn't been shooting in a great while. Having no stash of ear plugs, I ventured over to Vons to pick up a pack. While there I open carried and I had absolutely no issues, not even from the people in the line with which I chatted.

Afterwards, I went over to WAMU to break a $100 into $20s. No issues there either, in and out in 3 minutes with smiles.

Then, we went to the range! I open carried in the car on the way there, it was a nice reprieve from having to stow the Tracker in her cloth dungeon in the trunk.

Here are some photos of our day!

So then, our day gets even better...

Feeling a bit hungry after such a long shooting trip, we all decided that pizza would be a great thing to have so we cruised on over to Domino's Pizza next to Orchard's Marketplace in Ramona (I carried in the car the entire way.) Feeling a bit frisky, I open carried while still in my bulletproof vest and Macadelic4 wore the shirt we shot up earlier over his bullet proof vest for an added effect. I believe some feigned limping was involved as well for laughs :).

After coming back into Domino's after ordering, washing the carcinogens off of our hands at Orchard's Marketplace (still carrying) and commandeering a bench so we could get a third seat at the corner table, we ate our pizza and drank Fanta from those small plastic rammekins (Domino's doesn't have cups) and had a lot of fun and good laughs. In fact, the girl behind the counter at Domino's had a lot of fun with us too, we could hear her laughing at intervals.

During this whole outing, not one person made a peep or issue about us carrying nor wearing bullet proof vests, it was most excellent!

Here is what Macadelic4 looked like. The shirt he is wearing was stretched over a cardboard silhouette and was shot with 12ga, .22, 7.62x54R, 9x18 Makarov and .223, then put on over his bulletproof vest. Notice the exposed chest region and the whole new "battle-ridden" look that we were trying for. We nearly applied ketchup to his hair and shirt but he wouldn't go for it :)

With that, I shall depart, for I am in desperate need of a shower and to do some more Ochem and Physiology.

CARRY ON!

The shirt doesn't look too obvious that it was shot up in that photo. Maybe moth-eaten.

That's why one uses buckshot when shooting BGs!

It looked better in person, just the camera wasn't zoomed in right or something.

Haha. That's glorious. :-D
