So, there I wuz...

Odd how memories surface for no apparent reason.

Maybe 30 years ago, I was shooting on a private range in Southern Chester county.  I was alone but for two guys who came in and set up a few spots down the bench from me.  They uncased an M-1 and spent some time fiddling with it.

I heard Bang Bang PING! and the clip landed on the ground behind us.

They proceeded to spend 20 minutes trying to load the rifle again, without any luck.  I walked over and picked up the clip, offering it to them. "You might want this back".

They yelled at me.  Said it wasn't their's and mind my own business. Huh.

I walked away and tossed the clip into my bag.  No good deed goes unpunished, right?
