Very Nice Concealed Gun

[CharlesHarris]

I find it amusing, but not surprising that Japanese tourists who come out here for a day of shooting instruction and range time, seem more likely to want to dress up in Cowboy attire than to play Chuck Norris. They eagerly watch demonstrations of casting bullets over a camp fire, loading black powder ammunition with a Lyman tong tool, and enjoy shooting Colt single-actions, Winchester lever-guns and double-barrel 12-bores at make-believe bad guys, then to eat BBQ beef and beans while drinking beer right from the bottle and chasing it with a shot of whisky back in the motel while watching the evening's movie double-feature on the big screen TV, The Magnificent Seven, with Japanese subtitles and narration by Akira Kurosawa detailing his working with Hollywood to adapt The Seven Samurai for American audiences.

One guest watching a cowboy action shoot likened the event to "Gaijin Kendo~!"
