Al, Quite a story! I shoot frequently at the Police and Military open range in Yuma AZ and have had many experiences just like yours with military and border patrol. They let us shoot a Styer Aug last time. Most of the Police and Federal types I have met are pretty good guys. We were shooting our potato cannon we converted to shoot golf balls and they were pretty impressed that it would shoot 300 yards with hair spray.

The trick to shooting full auto with a Thompson is to let the sling strap loose at the butt and step on it. Keeps the muzzle down. They shoot so slow they are a lot of fun.

Sounds like you had a great day, you make me envious! Jerry Burney
