A buddy called a few days back, a friend of his had some visiting business associates from Japan in Huntsville for a few days, (something to do with chicken genetics)when asked what they would like to do while here the subject of firearms came up immediately, two were firearm enthusiasts but had never shot a gun. I was put in the loop, introductions made, we talked a while, their English was good, so we went to my toy room. I thought we'd have to do cpr on one, the other was stunned. I really didn't think it was anything special before. They went from gun to gun, knew the names, but the highlight was the Luger and the .45. We eventually settled on a M1 Garand, a type 99 Arisaka, Mod 97 Win 12 ga, a P38, 1918 Erfurt, and a Rem 1911A1. So I loaded up guns, ammo, Japanese, and my ugly dog all in my 85 camo dodge pickup, and down the road we went. Did the safety thing, operational run thru, the last time I laughed so much was when a Vietnamese garbage truck going 60+ ran into the back of my tank outside Dautieng. A great time was had by all. They had as much fun cleaning the guns up as shooting them. Farewells and pictures with the guns and my ugly dog were taken along with some of his hair they wanted to test. It took two young men from way off to make me appreciate something I do daily,it is special. Be back Sunday night, going canoe camping again.
