I joke about having married and divorced 2 different 1911's until I met Mrs Right... and we are still happily married 15 years later. She is beautiful, and makes me look good in front of everyone, and make everyone look good who 'handles' her.
No, it's not for sale. Evarrrrrr.

I got tired of casing up everything and driving anywhere from 20 minutes to the indoor pistol range, to an hour plus, for an outdoor rifle range.
So I bought a house with land that would allow me to have my own range. Now I just walk out the back door. And for the safety nazi's there is a big hill behind the targets.

I don't keep many guns out of the safe at one time. Too many auto entering thieves around here.

Just last night I was watching one of those gun rag for T.V. shows(may have even been GOG T.V.) and they were showing what they take in their range bag. Lotta of the same stuff I do and a lotta stuff I don't. What we take and how we take it can be determined how others do it or what we have figured out works the best for us. I tend to go with the latter. Experience has shown me what I need and what I need to have back-ups of. I myself use a rolling tool bag and a portable fold-up wagon to get all of my crap from the back of the Jeep to the shooting bench. Sometimes I even take a portable bench, depending on where I am shooting. If it works for you and you are happy with it, go for it, the others be damned.

"Too many guns."
It is not always a good idea to take so many guns out at a time, especially in some areas. Bad guys have been known to hang out at ranges looking for folks with a lot of guns; they then get the license number of the car, use it to find the owners' address, and come calling. Sure, I know "I can deal with home invaders, bring them on" line, but it is a lot better to not excite things in the first place. Worse, a large number of guns in some areas will attract police attention, and we have too many overzealous cops who think anyone who owns guns is either a cop or a criminal, and that is not good either.

I wouldn't go as far as Jimbob86 (I have been an LEO), but I do know some cops who believe that only police should have guns and would assume that anyone else with a gun is a criminal and a danger to them. I was once told that police in one city have orders to shoot anyone they see with a gun who is not a cop. While I doubt any department would put that in writing, I know some police who act as if it were.
That is one reason I strongly oppose the idea of open carry for "civilians", licensed or not. Jim |

What city? I don't want to go there, regardless of my carry habits.

I'm not a city person either, but I see the deterioration of civil society everywhere.

If you want to see deterioration, see how this thread has evolved.
