Krip Kam #9: Road Trips!

Date: 2014-08-15

I finally grew some ambition and edited the 30 video clips I recorded in June into a coherent whole to document an important milestone in my quest for independence.

In this video, I use Athena, my wheelchair accessible Honda Element, to drive twice to Guns And Leather in Greenbrier TN. The first was to meet with their resident gunsmith Jeff Walle and deliver my little Ruger Bearcat rimfire revolver to him.

The second began to simply pick up the repaired gun, but turned into a fun outing when Darryl from Guns And Leather got me into their indoor range to do some shooting!

These trips were significant because this was the first time in years I've driven even a short road trip solo, including city and highway driving, stop-and-go traffic and all that's involved in such a venture.

That I was able to accomplish this safely and competently, along with the multiple transfers to and from my power wheelchair to involve myself in activities was the real acid test of my abilities.

While plenty tiring, these trips were incredibly gratifying and liberating, it's a pleasure to be back in the land of the living again!

I was also pleased to meet Jeff and I'm sure he'll be helpful in the future when or if I need a good gunsmith. I have nothing but praise for Jeff, Darryl, and everyone at Guns And Leather who went out of their way to accomodate me and assure I got superb service.

Anyone in the Nashville area who's a firearms enthusiast will be happy if they check these guys out!
