Morgan is Going on a Trip

[Cake]

What kind of weapon was that? 9 mm pistol?

Morgan punched those holes with 2 1911s. They are .45 caliber.

For those of us who are not Dutch what does 'Schietvereniging' mean?

Basicly, Schiet = Shoot, Vereniging = Union / Club / Association.

In order to own a fire arm legally here, you need to be a member of such a club, and have passed some tests etc. And alot of others rules and stuff you need to do.

Get a safe for your gun, and a safe for your bullets.
Never have the gun loaded.
Only take them out for cleaning or for transporting to the club. While transporting to the club they must be within your possession at all times in a locked safety box, so no getting out of the car to put a letter in the post or paying for gas at a gas station etc.
I have most likely forgotten a ton of the rules but it's just to give you all a general idea of how the rules work here.

The U.S. rules for owning a fully automatic weapon aren't as stringent, but they're fairly close to that. I think Cake could back me up in saying the actual firing of guns is fairly well controlled in the US and varies state-to-state. It's only the ownership that's relatively lax compared to the rest of the civilized world.

[Cake]

Discharging a firearm within city limits is a good way to get yourself arrested. In some states, however, it's justified in a self defense situation.

HOLY MOLEY. Either I am a wussy girl who is so weak she can't handle a .38 pistol (but I like .22s just fine) or Morgan is hella-strong.


Trisha Lynn
...so which is it...?

[Lord Chrusher]

Morgan has strong forearms you know.

[Raine]

My wife agrees 100% he LOOKs strong... and He is at my place, for the while. He needs a flight or ride to Chicago. untell then tho, he is resting and relaxing.
and HOLY CRAP! HE IS TALL!

[Master Gunner]

Yeah, we Canadians are that way. I don't know why though.

[Raine]

but... he looks like under 6' in the vids...

[Bob The Magic Camel]

but... he looks like under 6' in the vids...

It's probably a proportionality thing. He's often shown next to Bill, and I'm lead to believe most of the rest of the crew are of above average height as well.

Then, of course there's the law forcing all Canadians to tie shoes to their knees, and walk around like that when on camera.

[Raine]

all but Paul and Matt, are over 6' and bill is 6'11"

[ecocd]

For a short time, I routinely went out to lunch with 3 co-workers all of whom were over 6'6". At 5'9"-5'10", I felt like a munchkin despite being average height.

[Cade Antilles]

. . . HOLY CRAP! HE IS TALL!

I know, right!? When I met him I thought the same thing. My girlfriend and I still marvel at that.

Im short compared to my wife and her family, but even they are short compared to him, I mean damn...

[Master Gunner]

Pretty sure Paul is over 6' too.

[Graham]

Paul is actually 5'11"
The exact average height of an adult Caucasian male.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Great, so I'm shorter than the LRR crew by 10 inches minimum

[Cake]

Hello, world! Taken from my very own cell phone, it's a video of Morgan shooting a gun! yaaaaaaay*

*Like Kermit the frog

"...for the first time?" Silly Canadians. We got to fire at 3 skeets in 6th grade for school!

[Metcarfre]

That doesn't seem like a lot of recoil for a .45. But then, the only handgun I've fired is a Ruger .22.

[Raine]

if i had the net at home things would be easer[sp] for Morgan. but a jyst moved and is still getting evry thing set up.

The only firearm I've ever fired was a small bore rifle (Can't remember the specifics, except that it was, oddly, for hunting small boars ), which accuracy-wise I'm a dab hand with.

[Morgan]

i want to buy a gun now that i know i'm amazing at it! the gun range we were at had p90s as well as anti aircraft guns. i love america. all you have to do to own a fully automatic assault rifle is give up your 5th amendment rights! easy peasy.

[Master Gunner]

I'm pretty sure a fully automatic assault rifle and the 5th amendment are about equal, and accomplish essentially the same thing. So fair trade indeed.

[Cake]

Did I tell you 5th, Morgan? You musta got me when I was sleepy. I meant 4th. The 5th amendment makes it so you don't have to testify against yourself in court. Hence the term "pleading the 5th."
