Found another one, also from around 1988. My Mossberg 500 is partially visible.. you know, to keep it gun-related (my other post is #29.)

Well if you want "old" pics my dad will have to do.

Most of the old gun related pictures I have aren't on the computer yet except for hunting photos. Putting in a few now and then. Did find one of me that was taken at an NRA High Power match circa mid 1990's.

Holy cow, but that one is begging for a snarky caption... On a couple of levels.
Sadly, some show such sensitivities that I'll withhold.

Trust me, I took a beating from the other guys for months over that. Everywhere I turned in the squad room, even in my mailbox, were accusations related to "pig-on-pig" or other "anti-pig" violence. Even a huge poster of a pig that had been on the wall before I started there, which had always been labeled with "(our city's) finest", had added a cartoon bubble with "Hey, J, have you seen my son?"

As long as we are posting old service pictures, here's me as a young 2nd Lt. F.O. in Vietnam in 1969. We'd stopped for a break and had taken our packs off. I carried that film around too long on patrol before I got it developed which accounts for the mottled color.

If we're bringing our dads into it, here's mine, during a stint as a rural Colorado deputy in the early eighties. The uniform shirt is now in my closet, and his badge and Ruger Police Service Six are in my safe.

Use to go hiking in the backwoods with my brother. I carried a Ruger Speed Six under my field jacket and he had a Browning Hi-Power. Both of us felt we were fairly well armed for anything that might come our way. Those were great times tromping through the woods!

While I was TDY on Ft Polk AMU, one of my squad leaders filled in for me. Every time I came in from a trip, he would bug me about how easy I had it on the rifle team. Took this picture for his benefit at a motel in Odessa where we were staying during a three day rifle match. The gun club president owned the motel and it looked like a small army post; don't think there was a single civilian registered that weekend.
I showed him the picture and told him he didn't really want to be on the team as we never got a moment to relax as we spent all our down time dry firing. Unfortunately, the Margarita on the diving board was hidden by my M1. I don't think he bought it, though.

Not many gun pics for me other than the usual range photos.
That's a much younger me up on Maybe. Best horse I ever had. Not skittish, even around cat scent (although she would let you know she didn't like it!)
She was called Maybe for her tolerance to gunfire off her back - maybe? or maybe not! Just depended on her mood that day.
I always carried a butt forward Model 12 with No. 4 buck for cats in addition to my .38 Spec. Colt SAA.
Thirty years ago out of Farson. I used my .264 that day.
Things were happening slower the day before...

This is twice funny for me as I was on a rifle team and a swim team many...many, years ago.
