Offtopic, but speaking of gun ranges...
In Tampa (St. Petersburg, to be correct) they have a nice urban wetlands park that's set aside as a nature preserve. Complete with boardwalks through the swamp that you can get up and close with the wild gators, safely. At the end of the boardwalk you climb this tower which gives a great view of all the bird life etc that lives around this nice lake. Lots of informative signs about the local endangered species, etc. Very natural, very serene.
Then you hear muffled banging. Our friend (who's a local) informed us that there's a gun range literally right next to this park.
Only in America.
Oh, and I HAVE to add this:
The most surreal US store yet. Guns and toys, together at last!
Vaguely sorta back on topic, I mention this stuff because it reminds me of exactly just how NOT "gun-toting redneck" Calgary really is, contrary to outside perceptions. I don't think I've even seen a gun here except at Bass Pro, and they're new.
