So my neighbor who's a FRENCH born American was over to borrow a 1" drill bit, saw 1/3rd of my ammo stash

His eye's got BIG and asked what was in the ammo cans. "Are they ALL full?" "What gus do you own"

It seems that he has a G.I. 1911, some 'merican Army bolt action, a "short" barrel shot gun and a german pistol that his relitive left him.

He's to bring over the "U.S. Property" 1911 to look at.

He also mentioned that he has NO ammo at home. and that h' was an Officer in the French Army during the '60's. He says he can do well with a rifle, but not so hot with a pistol. I think that I'll take him to the range.

Did he immediately surrender upon seeing your "stash"?.

Range time with the neighbor sounds like a good deal to me.

Do you have a FAL to let him shoot? I bet he has some trigger time with them if he was French Army.

Sounds like you got yourself a good neighbor and new shooting buddy.

Sometimes having a good neighbor you can rely upon is more important than opsec.

His guns have all been dropped once and never fired.

I don't think France ever used the FAL.
