Gun Club meeting - Gun Range, 4pm

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker walks onto the range, her .Sig and Glock in their locked case, and makes sure everything is ready. She posts the following two notices, to be read by everyone who wants to participate:

Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety

1. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun.
2. Watch that muzzle! Be able to control the direction of the muzzle even if you should stumble.
3. Be sure barrel and action are clear of obstructions and that you have only ammunition of the proper size for the gun you are carrying.
4. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger; know identifying features of the game you hunt. Never shoot at a sound or move­ment.
5. Unload guns when not in use. Take down or have act­ions open; guns should be carried in cases to the shoot­ing area.
6. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot; avoid all horse­play with a firearm.
7. Never climb a fence or tree or jump a ditch with a loaded gun; never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle.
8. Never shoot a bullet at a flat, hard sur­face or water; at tar­get practices be sure your backstop is adequate.
9. Store guns and ammunition sep­ar­ately beyond the reach of children and careless adults.
10. Avoid alcoholic bev­er­ages before or during shooting.

DEA Agent shoots self during Gun Safety class

"Anyone who wants to break these rules? Can feel free to talk to our sponsor, Principal Connor, about it. John Connor suggested pin-shooting; anyone who wants to do that, sign up below."

She puts on her hearing protection, puts up a Dracula target, and starts shooting.

Parker will be back in 3-4 hours to interact with anyone who wants to show up. Don't bother NPC'ing her. Have fun!

Wesley signs up.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yo," Cameron greets Parker as he enters the shooting range and looks around to find that he's the first one there.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker removes her ear muffs and nods to him. "Hey. Got a weapon?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Hey," says Janet, fresh from a walk outside and talking to Liz in the park.

OOC: Ack! Must leave work and head home now. Cam, Parker, feel free to NPC Janet if you want. (I should actually just make a list of people who can NPC Janet if I'm not online and she's needed and post it in my userinfo, shouldn't I? Because "the usual suspects" is a little too vague.)

Alanna stares at the guns and then at Miss Parker. "Only thing I know how to shoot is a bow and arrow. This can't be too different, right?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*facepalm*

"It's very, very different. Not in application, no. But in care? Worlds of difference."

She shows Alanna her .Sig. "Mechanical action starts an internal explosion, which propels the bullet. You have to make sure the gun is clean and put together properly before you even attempt to aim it at anything. Otherwise, it can explode in your hand, if it's dirty or jammed. Got it?"


_{[[back later :> ]]}

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Attending with his own gun case in hand, Krycek looks around. Seeing the notices, he reads them both, then goes to sign up for pin-shooting. Why not?

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka pops her head in, walks over and stands by Parker. She sure as hell isn't going to touch her with a weapon in her hand.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker nods to her, and continues to explain how a gun works to Alanna.


_{[back in a few hours, we can pick this up then?]}

[prisoner-rover.livejournal.com]

*rover on patrol.*

*with a snakegirl in his closet.*

*he decided to wait until the dean could get to her.*

*he wanted his bowling ball now.*

*so he patrolled.*

*the gun club.*

*rolling slowly, rover watched.*

*gun sensitivity was starting to wane.*

*good and bad.*

*student Parker leading the meeting.*

*rover was pleased with the level of professionalism all around.*

*rover rolled on.*

*a frog jumped across his path.*

...brrriiiiiiibbbt!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker notes Rover's roll-by, hides a smile, and observes Archie's stance.

[fh_jackass]

[ooc: Is there a sign-up sheet? Mun will be around later, and Logan would like to join. Or should I just jump in when I have time?]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

_{There was one under the last round of 'club updates', but anyone's welcome. It's an open club, you just have to show at least once a month.}

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara walks in and glances around the room. She nods to Parker and offers a brief smile.

[[and now I go, because I need a nap liek whoa. feel free to NPC]]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker nods and retrieves her latest silhouette, a bald guy with a cigarette in his hand.

"At least I don't have this in common with him any more," she mutters to herself, and notes that Thrace is beating Mitchell's shots by a mile.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam walked in (late) and made her way to the gun cabinet. She unlocked it and retrieved her gun and ammunition clip, then relocked the cabinet and put on ear protection. She stood in front of a target, arms braced, and prepared to fire.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waves to her, and goes back to shooting in her own lane.

Maybe she can beat Sam at *this*.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe retrieves a gun from the cabinet and grabs eye and ear protection. She re-locks the cabinet. She steps up to the line and aims at a target.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Halliwell?" Parker nods to her. "Would you mind helping some of the newbies as they come in, Madam President?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Stepping up to the line, his own target in place as well as wearing all the requisite gear, he aims and fires.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker is (unwillingly) impressed.

[can_be_more]

When the pulse pistol proves to be a little too much for paper targets, Aeryn tries one of the guns that everyone else seems to like. Very carefully, though. Just because something's primitive doesn't mean it can't blow her head or hand off.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Need any help?" Parker is leaning against the edge of the enclosure. "It's fairly simple, if you understand the principles. You obviously have weapons control familiarity already."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky does the standard thing. He comes in, he unlocks the cabinet, retrieves a firearm and some ammo, locks the cabinet, grabs some ear and eye protection and goes to his lane. He puts the protection equipment on. He checks the gun over, loads it, switches off the safety and fires off a few shots. His aim, at least, is still good.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker stops by, observes Kawalsky in action, standing well back so as not to throw him off-stride. When he's got a break, she says, "We're starting a pin-shoot in Lane 5. Interested?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John walks in, unlocks his gun cabinet, and ponders for a moment. He selects a gun case and some ammo, grabs a paper target, and takes off for the far side of the gun range.


After setting up with proper precations, he slaps a clip in, assumes the position, and empties the clip. Fast. He brings the target in, puts another on, and sends that paper to its doom.

He again aims, and empties the clip rapidly.

He completes this cycle for the better part of a box of ammo.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Connor. Damn. Very nice. Why the hell aren't you the one running this club?"

[m-samuelle.livejournal.com]

Michael comes in quietly and seeing that Ms. Parker is busy, calmly gets some targets and begins seeing how many shots he can put through the same hole in a target. Quite a few as it turns out.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker smiles when she sees him, and waves from across the room where she's talking to Alex Krycek.

When there's a break in the shooting, she carefully crosses the room to him.

[blueskin-mystiq.livejournal.com]

Mystique shows up. She has her own weapon. (OOC, not sure if she would have to store it at the range. If so, she would.) It's a well kept Sig Sauer. She puts on hearing protection, steps up, and starts putting accurately placed holes in a paper target. Her stance is professional.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker recognizes her from the Beautification Committee Meeting (and shudders at the memory of Polka Hell) and admires the gun Mystique brought. After a break, she approaches her.

"You should sign up for the pin shooting we'll be having in a few minutes, if you're as fast as you are accurate."


_{[ooc: either in the lockers here, or off-campus, at this time. Your call.]}

Pin Shooting - Lane 5

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Everyone who signed up -- over here for speed & accuracy trials." Parker motions people over. "Spectators, if you have to place bets? Keep it down so we don't get distracted.

John Connor will now explain the concept."

Re: Pin Shooting - Lane 5

[blueskin-mystiq.livejournal.com]

Mystique signs her name on the sheet and walks over.

Explanation-- step right up!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"You stand here, at this rail, 25 feet from the front edge of the pin table. The goal is to shoot all of the bowling pins in that set-up, 12 total, pyramid-position. The start position is with the gun or hand touching the start rail. We'll stick to handguns tonight. The gun, hand, and arm must be in an approximate 45% angle with the ground. The safety must be on when you start."

Parker checks to make sure everyone is getting this.

"The pins can be shot in any order. You keep shooting until the last one is off the table. You *can* reload, if you have to. A maximum time of 15 seconds is allowed per run. You get five runs, and the fastest time is the one that sticks."

"Any questions?"

Re: Explanation-- step right up!

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Wow, Teach, you're really going overboard. Twelve's a bit much, don't you think?"

"Now, like she said, you're timed to draw your piece from a ready position and clear the table. You're penalized for each shot extra. If there's 6 pins, which is what I'm used to, you get 6 shots with a 1 second penalty per extra shot. So if you can squeeze off a full clip in 3 seconds, you get penalized versus Bobby Slowpoke who can clear the table in 7."

John has a rare fire in his eyes as he checks his very imposing, very lethal looking firearm.

"Now, this may be a bit overkill, but I've got a 15 round mag and optical sights. Depending on what bracket or where you're shooting, you may be limited to just standard sights, no optics, or revolvers instead of pistols, what have you. Also, rules vary from place to place. Hand off gun, gun on table is a common variance. Gun in holster, hand off gun is another."

"Now. Lemme see what I can do, here."

John nods to the M of the Parker and readies himself for the starting buzzer.

((by pyramid, do you mean arranged in the same plane like a bowling alley or stacked on top of each other like at a carny baseball thing?))

Mustang enters a little late, and reads the notices. Number 6 is his favorite.

He takes a gun and hearing protection, and goes to find an open lane.
