While I was in Dallas, TX last week my good friend Cullen took me out to the gun range to shoot some guns. Click on picture to enlarge.

  Dar at the gun range I've got to say this is the most fun I've had for a long while. When you live in a country with no freedom to do this, or own or carry a weapon, you realise how proud Americans should be of this freedom. Click on picture to enlarge.
  We started out shooting some .22 calibre, which was fun but had no real power or recoil. Then Cullen moved me up to a 9mm Glock, bit more beefy. Then he had me letting rounds off with a 3.57 Magnum, and that is a weapon which would pretty much blow your head off. Click on picture to enlarge. Dar at the gun range
  Dar at the gun range We let off about 300 rounds between us that afternoon. Click on picture to enlarge.
  If you're ever in America and in a state with good gun laws like Texas, always ask someone to take you out to the gun range. Cracking fun. Click on picture to enlarge. Cullen at the gun range
  Weapons of choice OK, here's Cullens' arsenal: on the left here is the 9mm Glock, on the right the 3.57 Magnum. Click on picture to enlarge.
  And heres the .22 calibre pistol. Just as an aside, while I was in the States last week, I also eat Aligator at a restaurant and saw a Bald Eagle in natural flight, 2 more firsts for me. Click on picture to enlarge. Weapons of choice
