Death at the Firing Line - UPDATED

[B2crawler]

Wasn't there an accident there several years ago involving a drunk guy shooting his young son?

I don't shoot at the firing line after I was hit with with a bullet frag. Actually stuck in my leg (wearing shorts) and bleed like a stuck pig when I plucked it off. Packed up my crap and left. Guy at the counter made it sound like it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Said something about being on lanes closer to the walls are the worst....whatever that could have to do with anything I don't know.

Ay carumba!! I was just there yesterday! I really don't care for the place, but I've gotta shoot SOMEWHERE. I've never been to the Cherry Creek Park range, I just can't get into having to pay to enter the park first, then pay to enter the range. That's $20, just to go and look it over.

I went to the "South Shoot" location Saturday to check it out and bust some cans, but it started raining like hell as soon as I pulled in, and I didn't have the time to hang out and wait for it to quit.

When my wife was married to her first husband, they lived next door to another young couple who were good friends of theirs. One morning, the husband next door came into the kitchen while his young kids were eating breakfast and his wife was putting on makeup, said to his wife "bury me in Wyoming", and blew his brains all over the wall with a .357. I can't even imagine somebody doing that, and what it did to his wife and kids....

Needless to say, my wife has a "thing" about guns now, and I catch all kinds of flack from her about my .45 and CCW permit. She doesn't know about my .44 cap & ball revolver, the Bersa .380 auto, or the 9x18 PA-63 I'm picking up tomorrow.

Oh, and I fully agree about that stupid "clip vs. magazine" argument. Who cares? Let's argue about "magazine vs. magazine", which came first? The ammo storage device or the publication? Which is "correct"? Jeez......

I've never been to the Cherry Creek Park range, I just can't get into having to pay to enter the park first, then pay to enter the range. That's $20, just to go and look it over.

Not just the prices either. I showed up with my mak90 and some 100rnd drums and they freaked. The guy at the counter said "What's that!?!" I didn't have any idea what he was asking about as I had several rifles and pistols with me. After several questions of "This?" "No." "This?" "NO." "This?" I got "NO, THAT!" Pointing to the drum.

He then stated that they didn't want anything with more than 5 rounds and that the drums had to be taken back out. His reaction was equivilant to what I have seen when idiots start waving obviously loaded weapons around while in a gun store.

As I was there to shoot with friends I stayed but I havn't been back and won't return again.

Thirty years ago Cherry Creek was a fun place to shoot. I went there in '01 when I got my M1A and didn't recognise the place. Haven't been back. Now I shoot at GGC in Watkins. Good place.
