As many of you already know, the law requires me (and some of you) to qualify with my handgun once every five years to be able to carry a handgun in the State of California. Federal law requires me to qualify once a year if I want to carry a handgun in all other states.

And as many of you know, I don't visit the police station much anymore unless I have to. So I haven't qualified with my handgun since I retired in July of 2004. So... I need to qualify next month.

So Corey and I went to a public shooting range in Rancho Cucamonga last week so that I could re-familiarize myself with shooting a handgun. I don't think I have fired a gun in a couple of years. I was surprised how muscle memory kicked in. I was able to put eight rounds in a circle the size of an orange in no time. (Brag-Brag) Thank goodness for titanium sights!!!

Corey, who was rather inexperienced in shooting a handgun, did very well. In no time he was putting eight rounds in the target in an area the size of oh lets say a grapefruit. Very good for his inexperience. Good job Corey!!! It was good being able to enjoy the time together!!
