Liberals with guns?

OK, so KC and I went to a four-day intensive defensive hand gun class. Ha, it was really fun! We learned how to shoot and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic, just kidding. Not the typical way, for us anyway, to spend our vacation time. 

The class was sort of paramilitary, and took focus for 10 hours of each day. Most of the enjoyment came from taking a single objective and learning it extremely well before moving onto the next objective. There is something to be said about submersing ourselves in an environment where our focus leads us away from ourselves.

Rob, and his wife Alice, are our good friends who introduced us to Front Sight!
Thanks Rob and Alice for the great time!

We learned how to shoot pretty damn well and got to meet interesting folks along the way.

The class was taught by Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. I have to admit the whole website and weirdness of it was a put-off, however they were great teachers and good people. They could teach anyone anything I bet. Very professional and very good at what they do. 

At the end of the day we had a great time and learned to do something very different than we normally do. Maybe we will go and do more weird things that we would not normally think of doing to get us out of our comfort zone and teach us about the rest of the world.

On the way home we did some jumping around the rocks at Red Rock outside of Vegas.

Had to get out after four days of nothing but shooting. 

Hanging out at Calico Tanks Trail

Test day...good enough?

KC is a heck of a shot.

This is our reward. Check out this dude's mustache...yup, bad to the bone.

Drove this Audi R8 on the track on the way home. HA!

See you on the next adventure!
