This was posted to the Conservatives and Libertarians at Microsoft list (CLAMS) after the shooting exercise this weekend.
The MS Gun Group first Second Amendment Day was a total success on Saturday February 7th, 2009.
Everyone began meeting up right around 10:30-11:00 out at the pit in Sultan, which fortunately for all of us the gate was open! :)
No sooner than we had shown up to the pit, than Snohomish County Sheriff had rolled on in leaving many of us to think "Ohh great, well there goes the day may as well go get beer." Amazingly enough all the cop wanted to know is what we were shooting and told us to have fun! :D
As far as the firearms go, it was a mix of 9mm, .45, .22, .44 Magnums, 10-22 Rugers, AR-15s, and a Russian Sniper 7.62 x 54 (made a nice big boom).
Targets ranged from Pomelo grapefruits to pop cans (fully loaded, from Wal-Mart), an old Toshiba Laptop which no doubt won't see another meeting or conference room ever again, and a box with a smiley face on it which faced a full on AR-15 assault and about 10 rounds from Tim's 9mm (had to make sure it was dead in case it got back up) :D.
In all the weather couldn't have been more perfect, that and no one got hurt. In the end everyone had a lot of fun and we hauled out close to 3 large garbage bags full of debris left over from others, leaving the pit a bit cleaner than we had left it.
No doubt we'll have to hold another one of these events in the weeks/months to come here. Thanks to everyone for making it out and look forward to the next one!
