Firearm Training
« on: October 31, 2011, 12:40:17 PM »
We've all heard of the "Front Sight" development and training facility - an interesting concept, with some controversial allegations about financial practices.

Well, an entrepreneur in Las Vegas is now getting involved in firearm training as well . . . although, being, Las Vegas, the concept may be a bit "non traditional" to many of us. (Note the link is from the U.K.!)

Could do worse than stay here if you're attending a convention in Vegas, I suppose.  ;)

I, for one, approve of our new slinky gun-wielding hawt overlords (overladies?).

Don't really blame you there.  But Vegas will take your "innocence" from you. [popcorn] >:D

How does that help when they eventually offer the topless trainers - and you know they will...

Liz,

I say 'Go For It!'  Teach, save your pennies, and then you can do what you want.  It's not like your becoming a show girl or escort.  You're doing firearm training in a "Hooters" type outfit.  NBFD.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

So what would you call a gun version Hooters down here?  Heaters?

I am thinking that a few of those "tactical" gun shows on Outdoor/Sportman's channel would be much easier to watch if the way-too-serious monotone delivery was done by an attractive woman....maybe.  I think just about anyone who looked like they were having fun would be better on those shows.

It might be interesting to dress up and go shooting, better if I was paid to do so.
I'm game.  =)
