I know auto mechanics who drive heaps because they don't like to work unpaid.

Quoted: I know auto mechanics who drive heaps because they don't like to work unpaid. You just described my Bro-in-law, he's a certified GM mechanic and none of his cars run!! idaho-ar15 |

I know several military and former military folks including a Navy Seal that don't like to shoot weapons for fun. Most seem to see them as a tool and only shoot enough to stay proficent.
A side note, after six years as NAvy Corpman in a USMC Reserve unit my brother never wanted to go hiking or camping. |

That doesn't apply to me--I work as a life insurance agent, but I have to sleep with one eye open, and I have a little monkey to test all my food, cuz my wife knows she's waaaaaay better off without me. Yikes! [:O]

I'd have to think that after all the drills with house/room clearing and so on, that sitting at a bench firing semi auto, etc. would be kinda boring. [:)]

The military has a way of sucking the fun out of everything. Civilian shooting is usually much more fun.

AMEN troy!!!
i always said that the Corps could take the fun out of a BJ. the training is good but often the time restraints and lack of ammo keep it from really getting interesting |

I definitely will not camp anymore, after spending many freezing nights sleeping with my field jacket and boots on, it somehow is not fun anymore. On the other hand being in the Army is the sole reason I bought an AR, I fell in love with them on the range. It is one of the most versatile weapons I have ever fired.

I know truckloads of cops that don't even shoot at the range for fun, only when it comes time to qualify, once, sometimes twice a year!
WTF? I don't consider myself a great shot(my close friends WILL gladly verify this) but I do get out there and actually ENJOY shooting and view it as a huge PRIVELAGE!!![soapbox] |
