It’s this Saturday. Just throwing that out there in case ya’ll didn’t know.


“Free Comic Book Day is a single day - the first Saturday in May each year - when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores. *Check with your local shop for their participation and rules.”


 


I really want to go to one of my local shops in cosplay but I'm going to have to work D:

I only get a half hour lunch break on weekends, and I have plans to be somewhere else that evening and in the morning too. Sad panda. I might just leave a little bit early and check it out =3

Sadly I have to work Saturday and as the closest comic book shop is a day trip away, I'm SOL.

Oh, then I should probably get some of those.  For ... uhh ... research.  Too bad I too will be busy all day Saturday.  CCW classes, you see.  Oh well.  One less dead tree, right?

Nope.  Er, we will likely be using paper targets, though.  Oh well, **** trees.

Yeah, when my dad did his class there were a bunch of guys firing compact .45s.  They fell apart toward the end cuz the guns they used kicked the ever livin' crap out of 'em.  I'll do the test with a .22 and then shoot the hell out of the .40 later, ya know?  It's brand new so it does need to be broken in.

well its been proven that only using one type of pistol is effective for getting alot better, however, just to get the permit or getting used to gunfire a .22 lr is ideal.

That's the plan.  Use the .22 to get it and then practice the hell out of the .40.  I'm no stranger to pistols and own a few.   I even hunt with them.  So, for me, the matter of using a .22 to take the test is one of convenience.  Once it's done, though, I plan on runnin' a few hundred rounds through the ol' Glock at a friend's place.  Much less restrictive than firing at a range, you know?  That's what my dad did.  He qualified, got the permit and then we went and fired pistols all day.  He shot a lot after that, too, but just that one afternoon he personally put around 300 rounds through his carry weapon.  Gotta take learnin' your carry piece seriously and I do.  To me, that sure beats the hell out of the guy that tests with his carry gun and stops shootin' it.
