Guns and Gold in Vegas


There were two things on the top of the list of things to do in Vegas for this trip – a visit to the Gold and Silver Pawn shop, as seen on one of David’s favourite shows, Pawn Stars; and shooting guns.  The line-up at the Pawn Shop both times we went by was huge, and since we didn’t feeling like standing in the blazing sun, we decided to pass this one by.  The gun part worked out a bit better! The first time we went to the Gun Store, there was a four hour wait, so again, decided not to stay.  Since we had to stay an extra day to get the tires done, we went back earlier in the morning.  Rianna got to shoot a Glock, just like the police use at home. She did quite well, and has one shot dead centre on her target.  David shot a 45 caliber 1911 - huge sound reverberating through the indoor range!  Sean had the big man experience with a Sig pistol and a MP5 sub-machine gun.  (He was just a little excited!) He did great as well, but we were all amazed at how quickly the bullets get used with an automatic gun.  You hold your finger down for two seconds, and there goes 10 rounds. I decided to save my money for alternate activities (yes, my favourite Brighton store is found here in Las Vegas).
