I had a very tiring week, followed by a tiring (but fun) weekend. I saw If/Then, Idina Menzel’s new show previewing at the National Theater in DC. I loved it, for the most part. Can’t wait to see it on Broadway. Then I went shooting this morning with my friend Stretch, the guy who taught me to shoot all those years ago. Turns out I can shoot a semi-auto 9mm well, too. His AR-15 was too big and heavy for me, but I did all right with it. Found a much lighter and smaller version in the shop that I will be saving up for to buy next year. (Sooner, if they try to ban them.) It was a blast firing with the laser sight on.
Got home late this afternoon, very tired, but happy to be home. Meimei and Tigger were happy to see me, as I’d left them alone overnight. Meimei was locked in the guest room, where she sleeps so I can sleep without having a kitten attack my feet every time I move.
Too tired to dig out any new pics tonight. I’ll put them up tomorrow.
Minor correction.
My AR has a “red dot” sight not a laser. Common mistake.
The difference?
A laser actually projects a beam of light onto the target.
A red dot superimposes a dot (or other reticle) on a transparent screen through which the shooter looks. The dot “floats” in the field of view and allows for quick aiming.
Will e-mail specs on my sight so you can start your “accessories” list.
