Well, I just got out of the closet!

[June4th]

No, not that kind.

I was hosting a customer lunch today and the smalltalk lead to what to do on the 4th. I said I really wished to go to the NES member shoot but wife had other plans.

This surprised everybody at the table and no one thought I was the gun toting kind. So instead of business, us five guys talked nothing but guns during the lunch and I told them they're all welcome to be my guest at my club and shoot any time.

Lo and behold, everyone thought it was a great idea and now I have another great customer event lined up!

I just wish I could see the face of my company bean-counter when he sees the line-item for a few thousand rounds of ammo in my expense report!

Our company bean-counter is a sport shotgunner, 2nd A advocate and avid hunter. I think she'd understand.

...so long as the amount was within your client entertainment per diem, or was pre-approved by your manager if in excess.

Must have been a nice feeling and nice change-of-pace from ordinary business. Never know where future customers/clients come from and what their interests really are.

I recently started telling people I work with that I shoot with similar results. So far I've gotten 3 potential shootings mates and only 1 "Guns are scary" response.
