Here is an interesting one for my fellow Calguns members. Last night, while the wife and were sitting on the couch, I was complaining about the lack of decent television on. I noticed a the sound of a helicopter circling in the air not too far from our house. This isn't as unusual as I wish it was.
Then, we could hear what sounded like a voice on a bullhorn. After maybe fifteen seconds, my very pregnant wife gets up and opens the front door so she can hear better. I ask her what the guy with the bull horn is saying?
"I can't make everything out, only phrases."
"Well, what the can you make out?"
"Something like, call 911 immediately if you see a guy wearing a black jacket. and some other stuff."
The helicopter is almost above our house.
"Well shut and lock the ******* door!"
I jump up and remember I had recently went to the range and hadn't had time to strip and clean everything. In fact, my stuff was still stashed in my range bag! I have never unlocked a padlock and loaded a mag for my Springfield so fast in my life. I was stumbling with the key for a second and almost whipped out my knife and cut the gun out of the case I had it locked in.
As I was doing this, I swearing at myself for being so stupid for not following proper post range cleaning procedures. I am never just throwing my range bag in the closet again! Don't make the same mistake I did all.
Normally, the wife frowns and openly dislikes my firearms. I was amused that watching a TV show with my 1911 on the coffee table is suddenly all right and even a good thing. No I didn't not take the opportunity to give her a hard time about it either. I know most of you will be disappointed I didn't, and the few members that know me personally won't believe I was on my best behavior. But, I have learned the hard way antagonizing a woman that is eight months pregnant is comparable to sneaking up on a mother Grizzly and smacking it in the butt. If you are lucky, death will come quick.
