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

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.

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.

We let off about 300 rounds between us that afternoon.

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.

OK, here's Cullens' arsenal: on the left here is the 9mm Glock, on the right the 3.57 Magnum.

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.
