One of my coworkers at the sheriff's office called me recently and said his grandfather was coming to town for a visit and while in town he wanted to take him to the department range for a shooting session and asked if I wanted to come along. His grandfather had served in Korea in the early '60's and later in Vietnam and had retired from the US Army about 25 years ago.
My buddy brought some of the latest up to date equipment we use at the department for his grandfather to try out, and I brought along a 1943 M1 rifle, 1944 M1 carbine, and a 1943 Ithaca M1911A1. I got a kick out of the fact that we all spent a lot more time shooting the vintage firearms and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the stories told by the elder gentleman from his younger days in the boonies toting a M1 rifle. We had a great afternoon and I think he thoroughly enjoyed the shooting session.
I just got the guns cleaned up and snapped a picture before they go back in the vault.
