Dallas Blogshoot Reminder - one week

One week from today will be the Dallas blog shoot.

When: Saturday, April 21 2012 at 10:00 AM until mid-afternoon or when people want to leave.

Where: 3100 E. Beltline Rd, Ferris, TX 75125.


What to Bring: It's Texas, and late spring, so bring lots of water.  There's likely somewhere near by for lunch, but I'm not sure where (you might want to bring lunch).  Oh yeah - bring your guns and ammo.

Charity Raffle: We're having a Blogshoot raffle to support our gunnie brothers and sisters trapped behind Enemy Lines in the People's Soviet* of Massachusetts.  Each pre-ban AR magazine you donate to the Cause will get you one chance to win.  I'll bring (mostly lame) prizes, as well as the obligatory stuffed children's toy that we sacrifice to the Gunnie Ghods.  Remember, these have to be pre-ban, meaning manufactured before 1994, or we can't send 'em to JayG and the Crew.  Bring your old stuff - these are surprisingly hard to get in Massachusetts (which is the point).  Stupid Mitt Romney and his "assault weapon" ban.

Obligatory Blogshoot Target: We have a HopeNChange™ unicorn to shoot.  I hear that every time you hit it, you'll get a rainbow Unicorn fart.  Well, it's what I heard.

Carpooling:  The Texas Gun Blogosphere's own community organizer, Southern Belle has generously agreed to help, err, organize.  While carpooling is a commie plot to undermine the fabric of American society, at $4/gal it's pretty dang expensive to do long road trips (ask me how I know!).  We have folks in Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas - and points outside and in between).  If anyone is thinking about NOT coming because of the cost of gas (or the hassle of driving), please leave a comment here or over at her place.  I can bring two people from Austin to and from the blogshoot, and if we can get a few other folks to volunteer, we can bring a Texas sized crew.

A HUGE tank you to our host, U.S. Citizen, for arranging range time for us.  See you next week!

I'm there, and I'm picking up another blogger on the way.
Anyone in the Dallas area who needs a ride should feed free to shoot me an email. I've got plenty of room at the moment.

Weather prediction is for partly cloudy, cool and windy. Guess I need to bring a jacket.

Is this at a range, or on open land?
Class 3 ok? (Full- auto, suppressed, both...?)
