It's not just San Francisco I'm visting and experiencing but rather the entire nation of the USA and so it's not just Californian stuff I'm doing, but the entire America thing. So apart from odd money, bad beer and 24 hour Starbucks (a profoundly civilised invention) what else is neccessary to make a bonafide American experience? Exercising my right to the second amendment that's what.

It turns out Catherine, being a foreign national of no permanent U.S. residence, having a grand total of two and a half hours of firing experience is experienced enough to train me in the discharging of small arms. SMALL ARMS IN THE FACE. No wait, that's the sort of talk that ruins any future manslaughter pleas.

Anyway, firing a pistol is a slightly surreal experience. Maybe it's that fake guns are so real or becaus all you're really doing is punching holes in a piece of paper over a distance, but it doesn't actually feel like you're actually firing a gun. Not a gun like in the movies anyway.

Some guy down the range is shooting a magnum and the sound is ridiculous, that sounds like a gun. I wonder if that's how it starts though, you get your first gun and for a while it's good, but eventually the power wears off so you upgrade and before you know it you're on a ranch with an M-16 taking out cattle. Taking out cattle in the face! Or the udder. Or whatever
