I went over to the local gun range Saturday with intentions of joining the club that operates it. Apparently I got a lot of bad information from the guy who is head of the club though and when I called about the issues I got a lot of static and a lot more "secret club" baloney. I don't want to join the "The Water Buffaloes" or "The Regal Order of Good Fellowship" or even "The Raccoon Lodge". I don't want to know any secret handshakes and I don't want to be blood brothers with anyone. I just wanted to shoot and get a discount from the CMP and maybe shoot in a competition or two. I guess all that's out now because I'm not much of a joiner. Shooting is something I do to get away from the crowds. I don't want to take them with me.
