Is it time to find a place in the Las Vegas outskirts to do some plinking? I ‘m kinda getting the itch to take some of my .22s out for exercise. Got enough ammo in the .22LR (5,000 + rounds) and .22WMR (1,500 rounds) sizes that I can afford to spend some. I’ll get bored after shooting off around 200 rounds. Mostly want to make sure they (the Ruger .22s and the .22WMR) are shooting accurately.

It’s been a while, eh. The gun range I used to go to has been commandeered by a bunch of redneck assholes, so I haven’t been practicing anymore. And ammo, in my financial situation is, to say the least, pricey to unobtainable. And the hunting opportunities are almost nonexistent. So I haven’t almost nothing to talk about except I found the long lost Ruger 22 pistol. Yes, it’s the target pistol featured in my July, 2020 post. Yeah, it’s been missing for a while. It was mixed in with a bunch of electronic gear, little single board computers and other assorted tools like heat guns, soldering irons of various types, and junk like that.

On the topic of ammo prices, my neighbor’s son is also feeling the pinch. He’s going to a store that’s having an ammo sale , but all he’s buying is .22LR shit. I almost volunteered to sell him some of my stash, but thought better of it. And I think if things weren’t so dire, he’d have bought ammo for his long guns used for hunting.

Well, I have a few gun safes to store my long guns and my handguns. I lost the key to my long gun safe, but luckily I had a spare safely stored where I remembered it was. Not so with the handgun safes. I put in the wrong combination too many times and now I can’t get into the safes. One’s a Sentry safe, so all I need to do is go on their website and order a new key. But the other safes are no-name brands which don’t seem to have a web presence. Bummer.
