Since I realize we just may have missed a few of you with yesterday’s post; there’s a big even coming up.

We’ve been talking about this for seven years. The time has come.

The Minnesota Organization of Bloggers “Day At The Range” will be held…in the very near future.

Here’s the deal:

• We’ll be renting a bay of lanes – probably 5-6 stations on a firing line – at a local gun range.  We’ll have ’em rented for four hours.
• The event will be on a weeknight – because ranges are much cheaper to rent on weeknights.    This is important because of the next point.
• It’ll be a benefit – details coming soon.  Admission will likely be in the $20 range, with proceed going to the benefit.

Now, here’s where MOBsters come in; we need a couple of numbers

• How many people can make it to a gun range in, let’s say, the south suburbs, on a weeknight – say, Wednesday or Thursday.
• How many people can bring some sort of firearm (OK, handgun)
• How many would be willing to share with people who don’t have their own, or who want to try out otoher firearms?  (You’ll be on your own for the arrangements for ammo; I’d suggest pro-rating your ammo cost per magazine, or 5-6 shots for revolvers, and taking “suggested donations”.

We don’t have a firm date right now, but we will very shortly.

So – if you fit any or all of the categories above, please either leave a comment, or (if you prefer privacy) drop me a line at “feedbackinthedark”, which is a yahoo dot com address.

This will be happening in the very near future.
