Well, its official. Summer 08 is here. About a mile or so East from my house is an island off the ICW (Intercoastal Waterway), and a large island called Masonboro. Everyone goes there and parties on the beach and lights off fireworks, AND shoots guns.
Its amazing as I get older being able to differentiate a Black Cat, or M-80 from a 9mm or .357. Although someone has a larger caliber for sure.
Been going on since twilight and darkness has increased the frequency.
The shooting doesn't bother me so much,,, its the jerk that has been drinking since 11:00 A.M. today, that has the gun!

Going to our local outdoor range tomorrow early, when those,( hopefully no one had an accident that will make the 6:00 news.)
people will be sleeping it off.

Happy Memorial Day
Safe summer to all
