I met Michael Bane

[danceswithglock]

I meet him a Knob Creek last spring. He was getting schooled in the difference between a Vickers and a Maxim machinegun, I was on the "not as fun side" of the firing line fence. I was watching him do a segment for the show and waited until they where done filming. I yelled out to him "Michael Bane! Can I shake your hand?" Instead of just walking up to the fence he said he was going to walk around the outside of the fence to talk with me. Any of you that have been to Knob Creek know how thick the sea of people can be behind the firing line fence. He shook my hand and talked to me for a good 10 minutes. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word.  When he walked away I thought, that's a helluva guy, he could have easily just shook my hand and been on his way, but to take the time to talk and seem genuinly interested, wow.  He also gave me a really cool 06 SHOT show pin, still have it, in the plastic. I've watched his Shooting Gallery since the very first episode, and with my trusty TiVo, I'll never miss one.

Is it true he's taller in real life?

He's a very fine lad, now if he'd just lose the earring  I mean who doe's he thing he is Bob Parsons ?

Yeah, he is like myself, a tad too dang old for an ear ring (not to mention the wrong sex!)  Naw, Mike, I don't care, I am just funning you.

Shouldn't that be "earrings" as in plural. I swear after I was finally able to break my stare at the hoop I noticed something higher up on the ear, maybe one of those trendy fashionable diamond studs in the top of the ear. I swear, I thought since this was the women shooters episode he was trying to blend in. But I think he had more jewelry in his ears than all of the women combined!

You know your old when earrings still bother you.

How bout them "Longhairs" or tattoo freaks........which MB has a few also.


SAD! but just my opinion.

Michael just dress the way he does so he can do his "covert" fact finding ops against the liberal press, he's truly a redneck at heart....   And I agree, he's one of the nicest TV personalities that you will ever meet in person...

Don't be saying to many nice things about him, then he'd want us to thank him for his books, his TV show, his podcasts, his forums, etc.

all together now,  Thanks Mr. Bane   

Slainte!
