Long-arms

Well this should be fun. The show that I’m working on now needs two rifles. So, I contacted the company that I’ve used before, because they are helpful and smart. I like that when dealing with firearms, even blank-firing ones.

I haven’t had to acquire “long-arms” before and have discovered that they are completely different than dealing with handguns. For one thing, it’s not possible to convert them to fire only blanks, So tomorrow, I’m going to troop down to the courthouse to apply for a long-arms permit and then, I’m going to pick up two rifles. In NYC.

I’ll report in full. Presuming I don’t wind up in jail.

  1. I wonder which will scare random passersby more: you carrying an axe or you carrying two rifles. (Just think of all the comments you’ll receive!)

  2. I thought you were working on a half dead Springer Spaniel and aren’t they used for bird hunting and don’t you use shotguns for bird hunting? How do the rifles fit into the story?
    If you though the Glock with a quarter charge was loud – try a shotgun! 🙂

  3. I’m thinking wear the gown AND the tiara. Smile and give your queenly wave at all who dare to gawk at your royal arms. 🙂
