Okay, so for those of you that know me I have a strong dislike for guns. . . over the years I have told Micah I have a strict no gun policy in my house.I bent a few years ago and it was a fun trick to play on a friend of ours. See I sent Micah shopping for his shot gun with a friend from CA who knew I disliked guns. Needless to say when he told Jason that he bought the gun no matter what I thought - the joke was on Jason since I told Micah to go buy it with Jason. Shortly thereafter, he bought a gun to go hunting with, then for his birthday my mom bought him a hand gun. Just a few weeks ago Micah bought a 22 rfile.
Well this weekend, my borther and sister in law went to Idaho for a job interview and made their first trip to Utah. So while I was off working Friday afternoon, Micah took Kenneth shooting for the first time. So the plan the next morning was that the four of us would go back up to the shoting range. Oh what fun!?!? Yea, I was thinking I would rather spend countless hours having my hands dipped in hot wax.
I went along with the plan - at least I was spending time with my brother and sister in law! To make a long story short and after having been there for a few hours I let them talk me into shooting Micah's 22 rifle. Afterall, I had just watched Megan pop off with Micah's 40 cal. handgun and made it look like another day at the range with the boys.
Peer preasure is an awful thing. I was done after the bullets ran out! I can't say I will be back again . . . or that I want to venture out to the hot sun, in 100 degree weather, aiming a gun at a target two miles away and hope that I hit something. You know to make it feel like it wasn't a wasted trip - - - - -> and I will never get back that three hours of my life that I just lost!?!?!?!?
