You're a shotgun - bang! What's up with that thang?
[Canberra/Life] Personally, Pawnstar doesn't make me want to Shoop, but he does make others want to, and when she said yes to his proposal it was inevitable that there would be a bachelor party.
(Continues with more photos...)
First stop was Pawnstar HQ, where we reviewed the National Firearms Safety Code booklets & fridge-magnets (Is there anything the Government issues that doesn't come with a bloody fridge-magnet?) kindly obtained by Capt Randy Roger.
National Firearms Safety CodeWorded-up, we headed out to the Majura Park Gun Club for a twenty-shot round of clay target shooting.
1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
2. Your firearm is your responsibility.
3. Always ensure your firing zone is clear and identify your target beyond all doubt.
4. Never point a firearm at or near another person.
5. Never load a firearm until you are ready to shoot.
6. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
7. When you have finished shooting remove the magazine (if fitted), unload and then check that the chamber is empty.
8. Make sure that all firearms are transported securely to prevent misuse or theft.
9. Never allow unauthorised access to your firearm(s) or ammunition.
10. Do not climb fences or obstacles with loaded firearms.
11. Encourage safe and responsible handling of firearms in the field, on the range and within the community.
12. Never mix shooting with alcohol or drugs.
13. Understand the operation of your firearm, keep it in good repair, and always use the correct ammunition.
14. Never store firearms and ammunition together. Ensure they are safely locked away when not in use.
15. Be familiar with the legal requirements for safe storage, firearms ownership, possession and use in your State or Territory, or the State or Territory you are visiting.
16. Dispose of unwanted firearms lawfully. Surrender them to the police or sell them to or through a licenced dealer.
Next up was a quick dinner at Woodstock, where - against the odds - we managed to avoid being thrown out for being too rowdy.
The party kicked on at the Civic Pub where we met the girls who'd been at the hen's party.
My night ended not long after visiting Kismet (the new kebab shop in Green Square), where I had a drunked conversation with the proprietor that went something along the lines of "Y'knowwhenthepizzashopclosedIwasabitsadbutyourkebabsaresogood
