This post may be a bit of a departure from the normal corporate noise, however it's an interesting "dip" into a totally fascinating sub-culture and business. THE SHOOTING RANGE! So, for about a hundred bucks, you and a friend can pick the gun of your choice, eat a cookie and drink some lemonade, acquire two boxes of ammunition, choose a target and fire away. Aside from the thrill of shooting a gun, you get a window into a different world. Tattooed skin heads, foreplay date shooters, hard core military types, hunters, angry socialites, corporate whores (that's me).....and....here's the best: a chick named "Lady Chaos!" She was a sight: strappy high heeled shoes, white - torn - skinny jeans and a t-shirt with her name printed on the back -- all with a giant rifle and a target that looked like a political figure. And a great aim. Now, for me, it was the absolute best in people watching and the surprising adrenaline rush from shooting a gun. But the scary part is that in about 90 seconds anyone can sign in and pay their bill.....and then be released into a room with 20 strangers, all holding loaded, deadly weapons, none with background checks or formal weapon training, some certainly under the influence, others with mental illness, no indication of why they are there and absolutely nothing to keep you from open firing on one another. WTF? I wonder what would happen if we installed one in our company gym? Go check out a range today!!
