Not much time to play, but sometimes I play on steemit. I like to read to relax too, but when I really want to play, I go to the range.
I find it relaxing to see how accurate I can be , with each firearm; and checking the ammunition I have reloaded, for repeatability.
When I get real lucky, I go fishing.

I hear ya for playing on Steemit! Going to the range and doing his own loading etc, is my husbands idea of play too!
Tell the next time he is down Tulsa way, that we can go to the gun club, and play, ROFLOL! There is a lake there too where they stock fish....
My Son stopped by today, and wants to go out to the club next weekend to shoot a pistol he got today. That will give him time to get some ammo stocked in for it.
An afternoon of shooting with my Son, Now THAT is playtime for sure!
:)That sounds like fun! Especially that you can have your "playtime" with your son! Hope you have lots of fun!
He is a Campus Cop at Tulsa University, and the new pistol is his old service pistol from TU. They went from a 10mm to a 9mm; so he was able to buy his old pistol.
We will take my black powder to sight it in while we are there; that will add some extra fun!
:)Interesting! Here in Canada the laws severely restrict the folks from transporting restricted or prohibited firearms in public. A handgun is classified as either restricted firearms or prohibited firearms, which require an "authorization to carry."
What are the laws in the US? Is there any restrictions on guns and carrying them in public?
Open carry is legal here. Supposed to be all over, but there are some local restrictions.
Personally, I have a Concealed Carry License; so I can carry a concealed weapon most anywhere Not in court houses, airports, Bars , or federal buildings.
I carry one to three pistols, depending on what is planned, and what I am wearing. I always carry a 9mm. I often add a 380 for a backup gun, and when I wear a suit, I add a 45ACP in a Shoulder Holster.
When I do security for the Homeless meal, I wear body armor too. I have never needed any of it, but It is my Right to have, and or carry; what I please, when I please.
This was set up when this Republic formed, with the second amendment; to give us the right to use force, on This government should we need to! They understood the evil that can come from unrestricted government!
>:(Oh my goodness! You do live in a really different world then we do. I do understand the need to be able to protect yourself and the right to bear arms. I'm so happy you have never had to use them though.
Well the most violent locations here are the ones that do NOT allow firearms. LA, Chicago, and NYC are the most unsafe places. There, only the criminals have guns, and good people get hurt!
I have had two times when I thought I might need a pistol. Once a man that has mental problems was near my wife with a 10 inch survival knife. She was in the car, so I locked her in. If he broke the window , I planned to shoot him to protect her.
The second time, I had a disturbed man with a Samari Sword out when we were serving the homeless meal! I had 350 homeless, and 20 servers at risk. I was able to talk him into leaving, but if not, I had moved to where I would have a clear field of fire. Thankfully words worked, so I did not need anything more, because he put the sword away!
When we help the indigent, we run at a higher risk, but it has been a good use of time. We have been doing the work for three and a half years, and have had trouble only twice....
