    Just got word from the MAN today- (yes, he deserves all caps.)- Aug. 2nd may be the date.
    Anyone have plans to be in Colorado around then? If so......
    Open to the public machine gun shoot. Pretty much anything you'd want Class 3 and more.
    Machine guns, flame throwers, explosives, etc....and 1 of only 2 working 76mm. anti tank guns in the US.
    He'll let me know as to a firm date in a few weeks when the permitting is done. I'll post the final date then.
    Should be fun. Awww crap... he has a full auto, 8" barreled 12 gauge shotgun, of course it'll be fun!!

    Sounds like it should be fun. Not your typical day at the range by any stretch.

    Since I lived in Steamboat when I lived in Colorado; I drove 9 between Kremmling and Silverthorne a fair amount. Pretty country through there.

    Yep FF, it's a nice place to hang out.
    He dropped by with the flyers today, we made some changes. Looks like this is a go, and another in Gunnison on the 17th. This in support of a Pro- 2nd person running for state rep. All proceeds go towards her campaign. I met her a few weeks ago, chatted for a while, great Lady.
    Oh yeah, we'll also be shooting drones and large RC aircraft. No kidding.

    Depends on what you want to shoot, and how much. The Glock 18's would cost a lot less than the M2's or Mini's. All depends on ammo.

    Ok, - Aug. 2nd is good for Silverthorne. Aug. 17th is good for Gunnison.(local Sheriffs Dept. is helping with that one). All are welcome!
    Main recipient of the proceeds will be- www.IrvineforColorado.com- Good Lady, she's got her head on straight, not like her opponent.
    www.rmaguns.com- Website for the MAN , sponsoring the shoot. The site is still being developed, but it shows some of his toys.
    Thanks, JB.

    Clemsonfor, you are kidding, right? We're already stressed about the people that will show up, just to be turned away. Heck, the MAN had calls from Virginia about this thing. No one is happy about this.
