That was Your Mother ... with an AK-47



My friend J was a sharp shooter in the Coast Guard. Her husband came upon this semi-automatic AK-47 in his line of work. One day while I was visiting, we got to shoot it ... I know it was kind of a rush. Can't remember what the kickback was like now, or if it tended to jam ... At the time, we were preparing to move to Alaska where we knew we'd be hunting some of our food. That never quite happened, but we were preparing!



This is one of my husband's favorite pictures of us loading the magazine clips with ammunition--while wearing sun dresses and sipping juice. Seems like an unlikely juxtoposition, but we did it that summer's day.
