Leadership/Outdoorsmanship, Gun Range, Thursday Morning

Honor was already at the gun range when the students began filing in. Her principal guardsman, Andrew LaFollet, was two lanes down. Clad in protective eyewear, he stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, firing a flechette gun. For the moment, he seemed oblivious to the incoming rush of teenagers. Honor herself turned, removing her glasses and placing them next to the .45 caliber weapon on the counter.

"Good morning, everyone," she said with a slight smile. "Please make sure to sign in and then make your way over here."

She stood before several racks which had been set up, on which various firearms rested. Those familiar with firearms might have recognized the various .22 caliber pistols and rifles, flechette guns, as well as heavier weaponry, such as an MP5SD5, a P90, or an M16. Earplugs and eyewear were also available.

"Today, we're going to discuss firearms and firearm safety. For some of you, this is old hat; for others, this is new material. Given the serious nature of the weapons we'll be working with today, however, I expect full attention to detail." She leveled her gaze, making eye contact with each student. "Failure to do so will get you ejected from this session."

Satisfied that she had made her point, she launched into a lecture on gun safety rules. She then proceeded to take the time to demonstrate how each of the weapons operated; Andrew offered the demonstration on the operation of the flechette guns.

"You will get the opportunity to try each of the weapons. Please be aware of your environment, and your classmates. If you have any questions, please ask. Today, there is no such thing as a dumb question." She smirked. "Well, at least about the weaponry."

Honor then settled back and allowed the students to choose their weapons. She and Andrew kept a close eye on them, while making themselves available to answer questions as the students spent the allotted time practicing.



[OOC: OCD threads coming -- please wait for them. OCD threads up! Also, a zero tolerance rule is in effect: Have fun, but anyone horsing around will get kicked out of the workshop today, and might be assigned detention, depending on severity. If you *want* to get in trouble, drop me a line, and we'll take care of it. =) ]

Do you mind if Bel is haunted in class? And yes, by all means, toss him in detention if he weirds out about his unseen friend. ;)

Bel handled the weapons clumsily at first, unfamiliar with their use. He had his own built-in projectile weaponry, after all.

"Who are you going to hurt with that?" Claire asked, appearing at Bel's side.
demonbelthazor: (Grrrr!)

Bel grit his teeth. "This isn't the time or place for you," he said.

"A gun is not a toy," Claire lectured. "Are you going to kill more witches like that girl from yesterday?"

Peter was definitely glad Dean had shown him a bit about shooting before or he'd have been even more lost. As it was, he was still very tentative handling them.

Pippi starts with the fleshette gun, her aim is a little off.

She does improve some in working with the new weapon.

Finally, she takes one of the flechettes and throws it, like a dart, at the target.

Bullseye.

"I don't do that anymore," Bel said. "Shut up and leave me alone."

Pippi noticed Bel talking to himself.

"Hey Bel. How are you doing?"

"Be careful," Claire warned. "He might hurt you next."

Pippi doesn't hear or see the girl, though she does notice a drop in temperature when she approaches her friend.

She continues to smile at him as she awaits his reply.

"Shut up," Bel growled again at Claire. To Pippi, he said, "I'm being haunted. By her." He jerked his hand toward where Claire was standing. Unfortunately, he used the hand that had the gun in it. Waving a gun around? Probably not a good idea.

After listening to the gun safety lecture with more intensity than he usually devoted to class lectures, Anders approached the weapons racks looking distinctly uneasy; he'd never handled a gun before in his life, and the dreams he'd had of late didn't exactly make him feel any more comfortable about this.

Finally, after a lot of hesitation, he selected a .22 caliber pistol and stepped up to a lane.

"I don't know about this," he muttered. It took a lot of effort not to squeeze his eyes shut when he pulled the trigger.

A glance over in Peter's direction told Anders that the other boy was probably about as uneasy as he was.

"These things make you as nervous as they make me?" he asked at a suitable pause.

Pippi looked at the empty space Bel had indicated.

"Ya, I'd heard about that. A bunch of us were looking for information about what's going on... Al and I tried to use my crystal ball last night."

She left out the part where Phoebe was there.

"Hey, Anders," Bel said, before going a little freaky with his ghost. "How's it going?"
