Charity Machine Gun Shoot in Memphis

From Alphie comes the news I've been waiting to hear:

The St Jude Machine Gun Shoot is taking place and Range USA on September 23rd from 1-6 pm.

The last time I went, I got to shoot a .45 caliber MAC 10 on full auto, a .458 Win Mag, and a Mauser Broomhandle. It's a good way to gain experience in weapons you wouldn't normally have access to.

When I went up to the MAC 10 station, the guy asked me if I'd ever fired a machine gun before. I fought back the usual smartass answer (Yes, and submachineguns like this one, too) and let him do his job. Best to keep the cadre in their comfort zone, especially when they are dealing with folks who haven't fired anything on full auto before.

I think this year I'll spend the big bucks and shoot everything they have. It's for the children after all. =)
