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!

Archie shrugs. "Perhaps not. Unfortunately, the Admiralty's resources are stretched a bit thin, and there's not much that lowly midshipmen can do to change that."

He notices her expression. "You've been to sea yourself?"

Alanna grimaced. "A few times. I grew up in Trebond, and the only water we get up there is ice. But at Chorus, we have sea on three sides." She thinks back. "I went out with Jon a few times, and the three summers we spent down at Fief Goldenlake with Raoul. I get sea sick. Horribly."

Archie grimaces. "Oh. I'm sorry. I was lucky enough to escape that, but a friend of mine, Horatio . . . he was miserably seasick from the second he set foot on deck, and hasn't lived it down yet. And this was in a ship at anchor, mind you. I'm half afraid that reputation will follow him the rest of his life. Damned bit of luck for an officer in the King's service, especially one as sharp as he is."

Alanna grumbles. "My sea sickness and lack of height, the two things I will never live down."

"Oh, seasickness is nothing to be ashamed of unless one actually sails for a living," Archie offers, trying to cheer her up. "It's said that some of the most brilliant admirals in the Royal Navy were actually afflicted by it terribly, for that matter. And from what I've seen of you in Fencing Club, you're damned good with a sword, more than I'll ever be."
