Always played golf or hunted quail with Dad instead. But this year, I had my daughters with me for the holiday, so midnight, when I should have been sleeping off a pre-hibernation-worthy daylong meal, I headed to the mall with said daughters. OMG! Dropped them at the door and entered a holding pattern for 20 min before being cleared to land in one of the last half dozen spaces on the back forty. Hiked back to the mall just to watch the madness. Crushed Christmas. Wish I'd never seen it. Had to take the youngest out the next day and introduce her to the rifle, the 9mm, and the 12-gauge just to shed the uggies. I was proud of her. Every shot in the 10-ring (dry-firing pays off), and she even hit a couple clays on the fly. Check that box. Had never done it. Always played golf or hunted quail with Dad instead.

Sweeeet. Oh, and lots more parking. Those who speak the praises of MCRD X should also check out the X at MCAS Miramar. Sweeeet. Oh, and lots more parking.

Did more shopping there than anyplace in my 22 years in San Diego. Loved that place, and not just the exchange. Good, friendly staff, got most of my degree at the Navy Campus there, rented camping trailers there for quite a long time. They really know how to do it right there. God bless 'em all. Course, us squids do take pride in giving your boys a ride now and then if'n you're itchen for a fight with some scumbags! So, we got that going for us. Marine6, I couldn’t agree more.

Oy! Still, HD is my kind of Xmas shopping store -- and it's only 3-4 blocks to El Cajon Gun Exchange. :-) Online's fine but some shopping is better with the tactile (and tactical) element.
