I hadn't been in years and never actually been to a shooting range, my brother in law had taken me shooting in the desert a few times before. I'm pretty sure that everyone at the range was making fun of me, because every time a shot was fired my whole body flinched. I'm scared of guns and it was definitely not my favorite activity, but I wanted to get a refresher on how to use one.  This was our first time at the playground since February (besides the time we went in Long Beach) and while it was still ...
